Paola 2 Light Wall Light - Gold with Black Shades

The Paola is a 2-light wall sconce built around a gold-painted metal frame that curves into two symmetrical loops, each holding a black fabric shade with a tapered drum profile. An amber glass droplet hangs from a smaller loop beneath the right shade, adding a decorative accent to the otherwise clean geometry of the frame. The fitting takes two E14 bulbs (sold separately) behind the black shades and measures 340mm tall by 320mm wide, projecting 210mm from the wall once installed.

Designed for living rooms, bedrooms and hallways where ambient light is needed with decorative presence, the Paola pairs traditional gold metalwork with contemporary black fabric shading. The 2-light configuration delivers more output than a single-arm sconce, making it suitable for larger walls or positions where a lamp needs to balance a tall piece of furniture or fill a wider section of wall. The frame mounts directly to a standard UK back box and the wiring is concealed behind the wall plate.

The gold-painted finish on the metal frame has a warm tonal quality that sits between polished brass and antique brass, leaning closer to a satin or brushed appearance without high reflectivity. The black fabric shades diffuse the light from the bulbs and prevent glare when the sconce is mounted at eye level in a hallway or beside a bedhead. The amber glass droplet can be removed during installation if a simpler profile is preferred, though it adds visual interest when the fitting is viewed from an angle. At 0.8kg the sconce is light enough to mount on plasterboard with appropriate fixings.

What bulbs does the Paola take?

The fitting takes two E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs at 2700K-3000K for warm ambient light. Maximum wattage depends on the bulb type — LED bulbs up to 40W equivalent are typical.

Is the Paola dimmable?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable E14 bulbs and pair the fitting with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch. The fitting itself has no built-in dimming mechanism, so dimmer compatibility depends entirely on the bulbs chosen.

Can the amber glass droplet be removed?

Yes. The droplet hangs from a small loop on the frame and can be detached during installation if you prefer a simpler profile without the decorative glass accent.

What wall fixing is needed?

The Paola mounts to a standard UK back box via a wall plate. At 0.8kg total weight, the sconce can be fixed to plasterboard using appropriate hollow-wall anchors or toggle fixings, or screwed directly into masonry or timber studs.
