A midcentury-inspired wall sconce with a single opal glass globe on a curved matte black metal arm, ideal for bedrooms, hallways, and living rooms.
The Fairbanks Sconce brings a clean, retro-modern silhouette to your walls. A round metal backplate supports a curved rod that holds a frosted opal glass globe, casting a soft, diffused glow. Finished in matte black, it pairs well with midcentury, modern, and transitional interiors.
