Neoclassical Brass Wall Sconce - Torch & Tassel Two-Arm

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a wall with the quiet authority of a well-proportioned sconce. This Neoclassical two-arm brass wall sconce draws its language from the refined vocabulary of Louis XVI and late 18th-century European court interiors — a period when symmetry, classical antiquity, and restrained elegance reigned supreme. From the looping ribbon bow at its crown to the bundled tassel fringe that anchors its base, every element of this piece tells a coherent story of aristocratic taste.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Cast and hand-finished entirely in solid brass, this sconce showcases the material's extraordinary capacity for detail. The vertical central shaft is formed as a bound fasces — a classical Roman motif of bundled reeds or arrows — flanked by elegantly scrolling acanthus tendrils that reach outward to cradle two candelabra arms. Each arm terminates in an E14 candle socket fitted with a black cylindrical candle sleeve, echoing the aristocratic candlestick aesthetic. At the crown, a looped ribbon bow with delicate fringe tassels adds a quintessentially Neoclassical flourish, while the lower body tapers into a knotted cord and spreads into a richly detailed tassel. The entire surface is finished to a uniform warm luster, achieved through a skilled hand-polishing process.

Dimensions & Details

Measuring 90 cm in height, 30 cm in width, and 21 cm in depth, this sconce makes a confident vertical statement on any wall. Its elongated portrait orientation suits tall walls in hallways, reception rooms, dining rooms, and formal living spaces. At 4 kg, it requires solid wall fixings appropriate for plaster or masonry. The piece accommodates two E14 candle bulbs at up to 40W each, wired for standard 220V supply with wall switch control. Minimal assembly is required for wall mounting.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every sconce produced by Brass & Wood is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans who inherit generations of metalworking expertise. Inspired by the grandeur of European Neoclassical interiors, each piece faithfully reproduces the proportions, motifs, and surface quality of original 18th-century designs. This commitment to artisanal craft ensures that no two pieces are absolutely identical — minor variations in casting and finishing are the mark of genuine hand-production. Available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold finishes to complement your interior palette.
