Ria Small 1 Light Wall Light - Aged Brass

The Ria Small is a 474mm wall light built around three stacked hexagonal frames in aged brass, topped with a rectangular ivory faux silk shade. A single E27 bulb (sold separately, up to 60W) sits inside the shade, with light diffusing through the fabric and reflecting off the brass geometry below.

Designed for hallways, bedrooms, and smaller reception rooms, the Ria Small provides ambient wall wash without the projection of a traditional picture light or swing-arm. The 128mm depth from wall to shade front keeps the fitting compact enough for narrow corridors and landing spaces where deeper fittings would intrude on circulation routes. The half-rectangular shade measures 170mm wide by 230mm tall, giving a vertical emphasis that suits wall spaces between doorframes or above console tables.

The aged brass finish on the hexagonal frames shows a warmer, slightly oxidised tone compared to polished or brushed brass, with subtle tonal variation across the metal surface that pairs well with heritage interiors, mid-century schemes, and warm-toned contemporary spaces. The ivory faux silk shade softens the light output and hides the bulb from direct view at eye level, reducing glare when the fitting is mounted at typical sconce height of 1.5-1.8m above floor level. The hexagonal geometry of the base frames creates angled shadows on the wall behind when lit, adding decorative interest beyond the shade itself.

What bulb does the Ria Small take?

The fitting takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient hallway or bedroom lighting.

How far does it project from the wall?

The total projection from wall to the front of the shade is 128mm. This makes the Ria Small suitable for narrower hallways and landing spaces where deeper wall lights would intrude on circulation routes.

Can the shade be cleaned?

The ivory faux silk shade can be dusted with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For more persistent marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric. Do not machine wash or use chemical cleaners on the shade.

What height should it be mounted at?

Typical sconce mounting height is 1.5-1.8m above floor level, which places the centre of the shade at eye level when standing. This height balances ambient light distribution with reducing direct glare from the bulb inside the shade.
