Wall Lamp
Petalo Brass Armed Sconce
$271.00
The piece
Architectural Metal · Twin Linen Cylinder Shades · Statement Sconce
An architectural double-arm wall sconce in the language of contemporary American transitional lighting — a flat vertical metal blade rises from a slim rectangular backplate, with two horizontal arms cantilevering outward to support twin cylindrical linen shades. The composition is asymmetric and graphic: a vertical line, two horizontals, two soft cylinders.
The metal frame reads architectural rather than ornamental, with the central blade and arm geometry doing the work — no ornament beyond the proportion itself. Suited to entry halls, corridors, primary bedrooms, and flanking pairs above console tables or in formal living rooms. Available in two finishes — warm Polished Brass or cool Matte Black — to anchor traditional, transitional, and modern interiors.
Features
Twin Cylinder Shades
Two cylindrical linen shades cast soft up-and-down light from each arm.
Architectural Blade
Flat vertical metal blade and cantilevered arms — graphic geometry, no ornament.
Two Finishes
Polished Brass for warm transitional rooms or Matte Black for modern interiors.
Finish — Choose at Checkout
Polished Brass
Warm honey gold — for transitional, traditional, and warm-toned interiors.
Matte Black
Soft matte black — anchors modern, gallery, and high-contrast schemes.
Hand-finished metal & hand-stitched cylinder shades. Each piece is finished by hand — subtle variation in tone and polish depth is part of the artisanal character. The two linen cylinder shades are hand-stitched and may carry minor stitch-line variation. The shades and arms are factory-aligned for symmetry.

FAQ
What height should I install it at? +
For entry halls and corridors, install at 60–66″ from finished floor to the center of the fixture. For flanking pairs above a console or mantel, center 6–9″ above the surface. The fixture stands 67.5 cm (26.5″) tall, so verify ceiling and overhead clearance — especially for low-ceiling corridors.
Will it project too far from the wall? +
The fixture projects 19 cm (7.5″) from the wall — substantial for an architectural sconce but not unusual at this scale. In tight hallways under 36″ wide, measure carefully and prefer the wider walls of an entry or stair landing rather than a corridor pinch point.
Is the sconce dimmable? +
Yes, with the right bulbs. Each arm takes an E26 (US) or E27 (EU) screw-base bulb. Install dimmable LED A19 bulbs on a TRIAC wall dimmer and the sconce dims smoothly. Warm white 2700K–3000K is recommended for the linen-shade glow.
Which finish should I pick? +
Polished Brass suits warm transitional and traditional rooms — wood floors, beige and cream walls, brass-toned hardware. Matte Black anchors modern, gallery, and high-contrast schemes — works especially well against pale or paneled walls where the silhouette reads graphic.
What bulbs does it take, and how many? +
Two bulbs total — one in each arm. Both sockets are E26 (US) or E27 (EU) screw-base. We recommend warm-white 2700K–3000K LED A19 bulbs at 40–60W incandescent equivalent each for soft, even uplight through the linen cylinders.
Care & delivery
Looking after it
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.
Who makes it
This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.
We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.
Delivery
Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.
Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.
Returns
You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.
Damaged or faulty on arrival
Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.
Installation
Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
