Spyre 2 Light Wall Light - Metallic Matte Bronze

The Spyre is a 686mm vertical wall light built around five hand-hammered bronze branches that extend above and below an off-white rectangular fabric shade, each branch finished in metallic matte bronze. Two E14 bulb fittings inside the shade cast light through the fabric in both directions, creating a warm vertical wash on the wall behind and soft ambient light into the room.

Designed for hallways, stairwells, living rooms and dining areas where vertical space allows a taller wall fitting, the Spyre works as a single accent piece or in pairs flanking a doorway or mirror. The 305mm width and 127mm projection suit walls where the fitting needs presence without encroaching into circulation space. The hand-hammered texture on each bronze branch means surface finish varies between individual fittings, a characteristic of the making process rather than a flaw.

The metallic matte bronze finish reads as a warm mid-tone brown under most lighting conditions, pairing comfortably with natural wood, stone surfaces and warm-toned paint schemes. The off-white fabric shade diffuses the two E14 bulbs without blocking all of the light, so some texture and glow from the bulbs remains visible through the weave when the fitting is switched on. The bronze branches extend approximately 190mm above and 190mm below the shade itself, giving the fitting its vertical sculptural profile.

What bulbs does it take?

The Spyre takes two E14 small Edison screw bulbs up to 60W maximum combined output. Bulbs are not included. Most users pair this with two warm-white LED candle bulbs around 4-6W each and 2700K-3000K for ambient hallway or living room lighting.

Does the hand-hammered finish vary between fittings?

Yes. Each bronze branch is hand-hammered, so the texture, tone and surface detail differ between individual fittings. This is a characteristic of the artisanal production process used by Hinkley for the Spyre range.

What wall height is needed?

The 686mm vertical height suits walls where the fitting can be centred at approximately 1600-1800mm from the floor, placing the shade at eye level in a typical 2.4m-height room. The fitting can be mounted higher or lower depending on ceiling height and the desired visual balance with surrounding furniture or architecture.

Can the shade be cleaned?

The off-white fabric shade can be gently vacuumed with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. For marks, a barely-damp lint-free cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric or using household sprays which may stain or discolour the weave.
