Description
The Sparrowmere hoop wall light in silver leaf frames a mink fabric shade inside a single metal hoop, standing 520mm tall and 320mm wide with a projection of just 140mm. One 10W E27 LED lamp sits behind the shade, and the fitting is dimmable. It weighs 1kg, so it is straightforward to mount with the right fixing, and it is rated IP44 for splashing water. Silver leaf is the cooler of the two finishes in this shape, and it reads closer to a soft pewter than to a bright chrome.
Wall lights earn their place where surfaces are scarce, and this one is shallow enough for a corridor, a stair wall, or a narrow bedroom where a bedside lamp would fill the table. A pair either side of a bed or a mirror is the arrangement we suggest most often, since two lights at the same height flatter a face and balance a wall. Mink fabric warms the light on its way out, which stops the cooler silver frame feeling cold. The dimmable option lets the same wall sconce serve as bright task light and low evening light.
The hoop and backplate are metal in a silver leaf finish, and the shade is fabric in mink. Construction is Class 1, so an earth connection is required and installation is a job for a qualified electrician. Keep the fabric dry and clean it with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery tool, and dust the metal with a dry cloth, leaving polishes and abrasive creams well alone on a leaf finish. Confirm the lamp is dimmable before wiring to a dimmer. A gold leaf Sparrowmere is also available if you would rather run a warmer metal through the room.

Frequently Asked
What is this wall light made of?
A metal hoop and backplate in a silver leaf finish, with a fabric shade in mink sitting inside the hoop.
How far does it project?
140mm from the wall, on a body 520mm tall and 320mm wide. That is shallow enough for a hallway or a stair wall.
Which bulb does it use?
A single 10W E27 LED lamp. E27 is the standard larger screw fitting, so replacements are widely stocked.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, with a dimmable bulb and a dimmer rated for LED loads. Wired to a standard switch it simply runs at full output.
How should I clean it?
Brush or vacuum the fabric shade and keep it dry. Wipe the silver leaf metal with a dry cloth only, since polish will damage a leaf finish.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
It is rated IP44 for splashing water, so it is a candidate. Ask your electrician to confirm the bathroom zone for your chosen position first.
