A 1-light wall sconce in polished chrome with a bold auric yellow cone shade, built for bathroom vanities and industrial-inspired interiors.
The Orwell Wall Sconce pairs a bright, mirror-like chrome finish with a saturated auric yellow steel shade for a look that feels equal parts factory and modern. The open-top cone shade lets light spill upward for ambient glow while directing task light downward, making it a practical choice over a vanity or sink. Its utilitarian silhouette suits traditional, transitional, and industrial spaces.
Best for
- Bathroom vanities where you need flattering task light on both sides of a mirror
- Powder rooms and laundry rooms with occasional moisture
- Hallways and stairwells as a decorative accent light
- Industrial or farmhouse bedrooms used as a bedside reading sconce
Not ideal for
- Uncovered outdoor areas - rated for indoor use only
- Rooms where you need broad ambient light - a single 100W sconce is accent-level
- Spaces with very low ceilings if the 8.5-inch extension would protrude too far
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a 100W max E26 bulb, this sconce provides strong task light for a vanity or reading area. Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer because the bulb is not included.
Light color and feel
Color temperature is set by your bulb choice. A 2700K-3000K warm white bulb flatters skin tones and softens the chrome's cool reflectivity, while a 4000K bulb gives a crisper, more clinical vanity light. The fixture is dimmable with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions are 7.5 in W x 8.5 in D x 9.88 in H with an 8.5 in wall extension and a 4.88 in round backplate. The 7.5 in wide cone shade suits standard vanity placements. It mounts vertically and is hardwired.
