Ribbed Ribbon Bow Wall Sconce

Elegant Metal Bow Sconce with Linen Shade

The Ribbed Ribbon Bow Wall Sconce combines sculptural metalwork with soft textures for a statement piece suitable for varied interiors. A cast metal bow, designed to mimic fine grosgrain ribbon with textured parallel ribbing, anchors the design. This decorative element trails into loose tails and rests against a round backplate, all capped by a tapered silk-linen shade. The fixture offers a feminine touch whether mounted singly or in pairs, available in solid finishes and fabric colors.

This wall-mounted light serves several practical roles in the home. Its compact profile sits flush against the surface, preventing obstruction in hallways or walkways. While effective on its own, the architectural bow motif achieves symmetry when positioned in pairs. Common applications include flanking bathroom mirrors, placing beside beds to free up nightstand space, or highlighting fireplaces and console tables.

Dimensions and Install Height

The unit maintains a slender silhouette ideal for intimate areas. Total height measures approximately 13.2 inches (34 cm) from the top of the shade down to the base stem. The glass-free fabric shade spans 5.5 inches wide with a tapered bottom width of 3.9 inches. The decorative metal bow extends roughly 4.7 inches in vertical span across the 5.5-inch circular mounting plate. When installed, the fixture projects 5.9 inches from the wall surface.

For optimal visual balance, install individual units centered approximately 60 inches from the floor. In bedroom settings, mount them 6 to 8 inches above the mattress level. Bathroom installations typically align the shade near eye level, spacing two units 28 to 36 inches apart. For corridors, maintain a horizontal distance of 6 to 8 feet between repeats.

Before you install: This is a hardwired fixture intended for indoor dry locations. Consult a licensed electrician for proper connection to your utility box.

Careful handling preserves the cast metal's textured finish. Dust components with a clean, soft cloth, gently working into the ribbon details. For the linen shade, use a lint roller or soft brush rather than wet wiping. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners on the metal surface to prevent dulling the polish.

Customers receive a standard manufacturing warranty covering material defects. Please ensure wall boxes are secure prior to mounting the assembly. Handcasting allows for minor variations inherent to each crafted piece.
