Shell Brass Wall Light

Description

DescriptionThe Shell is a brass wall light with a fluted shade in the form of a scallop shell, held on a short arm that runs out from a round wall plate. The ribs follow the curve of the shell down to a scalloped rim, so the fitting has plenty to look at even when it is switched off. It is 26.5cm tall and 12cm across, and it projects between 16cm and 29.5cm from the wall. It takes one E27 bulb, up to 40W per bulb, and the bulb is sold separately. The Shell comes in Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Antique Silver, Raw Brass and Satin Brass, so you can match it to the door handles and mirror frames already in the room.
Because it fixes to the wall, the Shell adds a lower layer of light to a room where a ceiling light alone can feel flat. Choose a pair either side of the bed in a bedroom, one beside an armchair in a corner of the living room, or two above a sideboard in the dining room. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only, which suits all three of those rooms well. Polished Brass has a bright shine and Satin Brass a softer sheen, while Antique Brass and Antique Silver have a darker, aged look that sits well with old wood and painted walls.
The Shell is made of brass, with the fluted shade joined to its arm at the top of the shell and the arm fixed into the round plate. Each light is made to order for you, in the finish you choose. It is a mains fitting and must be wired in to the mains by a qualified electrician. Once it is in place, it needs only its E27 bulb, up to 40W, to be ready. Our photographs show the Antique Brass, Antique Silver, Polished Brass and Satin Brass finishes.
