Tapered Cone Shade · Swing-Arm Brass Body · Three Finishes · Two Shade Materials
A traditional swing-arm wall sconce with a tapered cone shade — a circular brass backplate, a curved brass arm extending forward, and a pleated-collar socket holding a parasol-shaped shade beneath. The vocabulary draws from early-20th-century American workshop and library lighting.
Choose the shade material to suit your needs: ceramic for a soft light-transmissive glow, or aluminum for a more durable opaque shade that ships safely without breakage risk. Available in three metal finishes for the arm and backplate.

Features
Tapered Cone Shade
Parasol-shaped shade focuses light downward — bright reading-light intensity, glare-free.
Two Shade Materials
Ceramic for translucent glow, or aluminum for durable shipping and opaque cone form.
Three Metal Finishes
Brass, nickel, or white powder-coat — suits traditional, transitional, or modern walls.
Shade Material — Choose at Checkout
Ceramic shades are translucent — light passes through the material for a softer glow. Aluminum shades are opaque metal — more durable in shipping with no breakage risk.
Metal Finish — Choose at Checkout
Brass
Warm polished brass — classical, traditional, pairs with cream walls and oak.
Nickel
Brushed nickel — versatile silver-warm, suits transitional and modern interiors.
White
Powder-coated white — minimal, recedes against light walls.

FAQ
Ceramic shade or aluminum shade — which should I choose? +
Pick ceramic if you want soft, translucent light — the bulb glow passes through the ceramic material for a warm, gentle wash. Pick aluminum if you want crisper directional light and don't need translucent glow — aluminum is also more durable in shipping with zero breakage risk. Both produce the same parasol silhouette, just different light qualities.
What bulb does it take? +
One E26 (North America) or E27 (EU/UK/AU) standard-base bulb up to 25W. We recommend a warm white (3000K) LED for residential ambiance. Vintage Edison-style filament bulbs also work well — the bulb is partially visible from below the cone, and a filament bulb adds workshop character. Bulb not included.
How far does it project from the wall? +
Wall projection is 32 cm (12.6") — measured from the wall surface to the front edge of the shade. This is a substantial projection suited to wider walls; for narrow hallways or tight spaces, measure your clearance before ordering.
Can I order it as a pair? +
Yes — works beautifully in pairs flanking a bed, fireplace, or large mirror. Just order two units in matching finish. For matched-batch consistency on larger orders, contact us first.
Is it dimmable? +
The fixture itself doesn't dim, but it becomes fully dimmable when paired with a dimmable LED bulb and a standard TRIAC wall dimmer (both sold separately).

Victorian form.
Modern restraint.
Porcelain & aluminium shades. Solid brass arms.
A fixture that looks like it was always there.
Three principles, one coherent voice.
The Thetford Series is not a mood board assembled from Pinterest references. It is a disciplined answer to a single question: what does a lamp look like when it respects the room? Every decision — the curve of the shade, the weight of the arm, the choice of porcelain over glass — follows from the three principles below.
Breaking away from industrial mass-production to create a home that feels curated over a lifetime. Nothing in this collection was designed to match a catalogue. It was designed to outlast one.
Drawing silhouettes from ancient scullery lamps — refined for the heart of the modern home. The proportions are historical. The finish and light source are this century.
Rejecting clutter for perfect proportions and premium materials that speak for themselves. There are no decorative flourishes because none are needed. The grandeur is in the restraint.
Four archetypes — a complete ecosystem.
Every Thetford fixture is designed to exist alongside the others — same vocabulary, different conversation. Mix Linear Pendants over the island with a Wall Sconce above the backsplash and the room reads as intentionally designed, not accidentally collected.
Two shades. Two entirely different rooms.
The Thetford Series offers two shade materials — not as a finish option but as a design decision. The choice between Translucent Porcelain and Industrial Aluminium changes the quality of light, the character of the room, and the decade the space seems to come from. Both are right. The question is which is right for your room.
The two materials are designed to coexist. A common specification: Porcelain pendants over the kitchen island (where atmosphere matters) and Aluminium in the pantry or utility area (where task focus is everything). The contrast reads as collected over time — the hallmark of a premium English interior.
The kitchen essential you didn't know you were missing.
Modern kitchens suffer from over-lighting — recessed LEDs spaced every 18 inches, illuminating nothing in particular at full intensity. Thetford brings light down to human scale, creating intimacy without sacrificing task performance. The ceiling becomes quiet. The island becomes the room.
The series is designed to be mixed deliberately. Porcelain over the island — Aluminium in the pantry — Sconce above the backsplash. Each fixture speaks the same language with a different inflection. The result is a room that reads as designed, not decorated.
Two rules that change the installation.
Lighting placement is the last decision made and the one that undoes everything else. The two principles below come from our specification team — distilled from hundreds of kitchen projects where the placement was either exactly right or nearly right.
"For islands between 6 ft and 8 ft, three single pendants provide the most balanced visual rhythm and shadow-free task lighting. Space them at equal thirds — never centred as a pair."
"Don't be afraid to pair Brass fixtures with Black or Nickel cabinetry hardware. This 'collected' style is the hallmark of premium English design — and the reason Thetford reads as curated, not coordinated."
