The metal and wood angled wall sconce is a quiet, useful fixture: a smooth metal shade set at an angle on a natural wood back plate. The tilt is the point. It aims light down and forward instead of spilling it across the room, which makes the piece genuinely good for reading rather than merely decorative.

It measures 5.1 in / 13 cm deep, 7.9 in / 20 cm wide, and 8.7 in / 22 cm high, a modest footprint that suits a bedside wall, a reading nook, a stairwell, or a hallway where a table lamp simply will not fit. Five color options are offered, white, black, grey, green, or pink, each paired with the wood-toned back plate, so it can either blend into the wall or act as a small block of color against it.

The sconce takes a standard E26 or E27 bulb, LED or Edison filament, which is not included, so brightness and color temperature are yours to set; a warm 2700K to 3000K bulb suits the wood best. It is wired to an external wall light switch, so the light is controlled from the wall rather than the fixture, and a licensed electrician is recommended for installation. Indoor use only, in dry locations.
