Gustav Rustic Lantern Wall Sconce in Pine and Metal

The VoriHaus Gustav Rustic Lantern Wall Sconce hangs a caged lantern from a short arm on a pine wood backplate, in the shape of an old storm lamp. The metal is finished in a mottled aged tone rather than a flat paint, and the cage bars run down the outside of a clear glass chimney, so the bulb is visible through it and the bars throw a striped shadow onto the wall around the fixture.

It stands 15.7 inches tall, 4.7 inches wide and 3.9 inches deep and weighs 3.1 pounds, which puts it in the range where one on its own reads as a deliberate feature rather than general lighting. It takes an E27 base LED bulb rated up to 40 watts. The lantern is sold singly: one sconce and one mounting kit are supplied, so a symmetrical pair either side of a bed or a door means ordering two.

The fixture is hardwired and fixes through the pine backplate. VoriHaus recommends having a qualified electrician make the connection, fixing into a stud or a rated wall plug rather than plasterboard alone, and confirming the fixture is rated for your household supply before installation. Let the glass cool before cleaning it, and wipe the pine and the metal with a dry or barely damp soft cloth rather than a wet one.
