Vintage Adjustable Wall Sconce

The Vintage Retro Wall Lamp puts a timber arm on a metal shade and lets the whole assembly swing and tilt, so the light can be aimed at a book, a wall or a corner from a single fixed mounting point. Adjustability on a wall lamp is what stops it becoming useless the moment the furniture moves.

The retro styling comes from proportion rather than decoration: a slightly deep shade, a visible pivot, exposed hardware where a modern fitting would hide it. Nothing has been added for period effect that does not also hold the lamp together.

Velleora Home Decor specified friction joints that keep their angle rather than sagging over time. It fits a standard recessed back box and takes a small-format bulb. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician, and the timber wiped dry rather than with anything damp.
