Feiss Drawing Room 2 Light Wall Light - Walnut Edwardian Style

The Drawing Room is a 2-light wall light with a walnut-finished die-cast aluminium backplate and two fluted pressed glass bell shades, each housing an E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately). The backplate measures 465mm wide by 254mm high, with symmetrical scrolled arms extending 166mm from the wall and a central oval medallion embossed with radiating fluting detail.

Designed for traditional and Edwardian-inspired interiors, the fitting suits hallways, living room walls either side of a fireplace or sofa, and bedroom walls flanking a bed or dressing table mirror. The 465mm width works on wall sections 600mm or wider, and the 166mm projection requires clearance from furniture below. The walnut finish is a mid-brown tone with darker grain patterns that anchor the ornamental metalwork without overwhelming smaller rooms.

Each arm terminates in a decorative fretwork collar below the glass shade, echoing the overlapping arch motif found on the central backplate medallion. The fluted glass bell shades are frosted to diffuse direct bulb glare while allowing enough light transmission for ambient room illumination. The die-cast aluminium frame gives structural rigidity without excessive weight, and the walnut coating is applied over a rust-resistant primer suitable for interior wall mounting on standard UK mounting boxes.

The Drawing Room collection by Feiss takes design cues from British Edwardian period architecture, characterised by overlapping geometric motifs and applied fretwork detail. The 2-light wall configuration balances decorative presence with practical wall-mounted task or accent lighting in rooms where ceiling-mounted fittings would be impractical or visually unsuitable.

What bulbs does this take?

The fitting takes two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, each up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K to suit traditional interiors.

What's the recommended wall mounting height?

For living rooms and bedrooms, mount the backplate centre at approximately 1.5-1.7m above floor level, ensuring the lower glass shades sit above head height when standing. For hallways, positioning at 1.6-1.8m works well for wall-wash accent lighting.

Is the walnut finish a painted or stained coating?

The walnut finish is a painted coating applied over die-cast aluminium, designed to replicate the appearance of mid-brown wood grain. It is not real wood veneer or stain, but provides a durable interior finish that resists chipping under normal use.

Can this be used in a bathroom?

No IP rating is listed in the specification, so the fitting is designed for dry interior locations only. It is not suitable for bathrooms or other areas where moisture or steam is present.
