Description
The Oakridge is a single-light wall sconce in solid brass with a polished finish, built around a curved arm that supports a white candle-style sleeve above a decorative backplate. The backplate is cast with a raised leaf and scroll motif that fans outward from the arm mounting point, giving the fitting a classical profile without excessive projection. The SES (E14) bulb fitting sits inside the white sleeve, which diffuses direct glare and presents the bulb as a candle flame.
Designed for hallways, staircases, formal living rooms and beside bedroom mirrors, the Oakridge provides upward-facing ambient light rather than directed task illumination. The 17cm projection from the wall suits narrower corridors and smaller rooms where a deeper wall light would intrude into circulation space. The fixture can be used as a single accent beside a mirror or doorway, or paired symmetrically along longer walls and stairwells. Maximum bulb wattage is 60W, though most users pair the Oakridge with a 4-6W LED SES bulb at 2700K for warm ambient light.
The polished brass finish reflects surrounding colours and catches natural light during the day, making it a strong pairing for deep paint tones, antique furniture and decorative plasterwork in period or traditional interiors. The solid brass construction gives the fitting a 0.40kg weight despite its compact 22.5cm height and 8.5cm diameter backplate, which provides a sense of substance when mounted on the wall. The polished finish will develop a patina over time unless periodically buffed with a soft brass polish.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Oakridge take?
The fitting takes one SES (E14, small Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair it with a 4-6W LED SES candle bulb at 2700K-3000K to replicate the appearance of a traditional candle flame inside the white sleeve.
Is the Oakridge suitable for bathrooms?
The Oakridge carries no IP rating and is not suitable for use in bathrooms or wet environments. It is designed for dry indoor locations only.
Will the polished brass tarnish?
Polished brass will develop a natural patina over time when exposed to air and handling. This can be slowed by occasional buffing with a soft brass polish. Some users prefer the aged patina as it reinforces the classical character of the fitting.
Can multiple Oakridge sconces be used together?
Yes. The Oakridge is commonly used in pairs along hallways, either side of mirrors, or in symmetrical arrangements on staircases. The compact projection and classical styling make it well-suited to repetition without visual overcrowding.
