Dauphine Wall Sconce

Aged Brass · Tailored Fabric Shade · Transitional Sconce

A tailored wall sconce in the language of classic American transitional lighting — a slim aged-brass stem rises from a small rectangular backplate, gently tapering down to a tassel-tip foot. A crisp tapered drum shade in white linen sits at the top, hand-stitched and unlined for a soft uplight. The proportion is upright and disciplined, scaled for hallways and bedside walls.

The brass body is hand-finished — bright on the polish, deeper at the recesses where light catches. Suited to bedside walls, powder rooms, hallways, and flanking pairs above console tables or fireplace mantels. Available in three finishes — Aged Brass, Matte Black, and Brushed Nickel — to match traditional, transitional, and modern interiors.

FAQ

What height should I install the Dauphine at? +

For hallways and bedside walls, 60–66″ from finished floor to the center of the sconce works well. For flanking pairs above a fireplace mantel, center 6–9″ above the mantel shelf and space pairs evenly to either side of the mirror or artwork. Always confirm with your electrician.

Can I use it as a bedside reading light? +

Yes — the unlined linen drum casts a soft ambient uplight rather than a focused reading beam, which suits bedside ambiance. For dedicated reading, pair with a brighter LED candle bulb and a TRIAC wall dimmer to control intensity for evening use.

Is the Dauphine dimmable? +

Yes, with the right bulb. The fixture takes a single E12 candelabra-base bulb. Install a dimmable LED candle bulb on a TRIAC wall dimmer and the sconce dims smoothly. Warm white 2700K–3000K is recommended to flatter the linen shade.

Which finish should I pick? +

Aged Brass suits warm transitional and traditional rooms — wood floors, beige and cream walls. Matte Black anchors modern, industrial, or high-contrast schemes. Brushed Nickel reads cooler and works well in coastal, contemporary, and pale-walled interiors.

Can I install it in a powder room? +

Yes — the Dauphine suits powder rooms and primary bath vanities away from direct shower spray. The linen shade should not be exposed to sustained steam or direct water; for shower-zone or wet-area installations, please contact us for guidance.
