Selfoss Sconce

Pair of dark curved sheets folded together, glowing gold inside like a held secret.

This is a selfoss sconce. A wall sconce is a light fixture fixed directly to the wall, a form used for centuries to light halls, stairways and bedsides without taking up floor or table space. Tall wall fixture made from two curving black shells that meet in a pinched waist. The outside is smooth and deep brown in tone, while the inside shows a warm, crinkled gold leaf finish at both open ends. It is 7 inches long and 11 high.

Dark on the outside and warmly lit within.
