Marble and Glass Wall Sconce

A frosted glass globe resting above a solid marble accent, held in a brushed gold frame. Three materials, each doing one thing: the marble gives weight and pattern, the gold warms the whole piece, and the glass does the diffusing.

Because the marble is real stone, the veining runs differently through every fixture and no two are identical. That variation is the argument for solid marble over a printed effect, and it is most visible during the day when the fixture is unlit.

Two combinations. White and gold is the classic reading and stays neutral in almost any room. Green and gold is deeper and more unusual, and works where the fixture is meant to be noticed. Both come with warm white light, which flatters the stone and the brass. The marble section is a genuine slab rather than a marble-effect resin, so it carries a faint coolness to the touch that the surrounding brass does not. Fixings are concealed behind the backplate, so only the sconce itself is visible once it is mounted. Dust the marble with a soft dry cloth rather than a wet one, since standing moisture can mark the stone's surface over time. Installation should be carried out by a competent person, with the circuit isolated before work begins.
