Vintage Black and Gold Wall Sconce with Shell Shade

Black and Gold Wall Sconce – Shell Shade

A black and gold wall sconce is a classic pairing, and the shell-shaped shade gives this one a sculptural twist. The body is aluminium, zinc and iron, with a retro-industrial feel. It adds contrast to a neutral wall. The shape is gently curved, which keeps it from looking severe.

Black and gold have long been a glamorous partnership, and the curved shell form adds a sculptural softness that stops the contrast feeling severe. Lit, it should offer a cosy glow, while unlit the dark and golden notes stand out nicely. It has a flavour of old-world glamour with a relaxed side. The effect is smart but never stiff.
