Strada Small Sconce

Fan of thin metal spikes bursting from a single band like a frozen firework.

This is a small burnished silver sconce. A sconce is a wall-mounted light fixture, and burnished metal finishes are often chosen because they catch and spread the glow of a flame or bulb. Wall light made of dozens of slender, pale metal rods radiating outward from a small central band, forming a bow-tie silhouette. Each rod ends in a tiny point. A round backplate sits behind the knot of rods. It is 8 inches long, 5 deep and 19.5 high.

Sharp-looking, but somehow entirely friendly to walk past.
