Frequently Asked Questions
Does it look dated?
Classic rather than dated. The silhouette is traditional but the structure underneath is clean and current, which is why it sits comfortably in both a period house and a modern one.
How far does it project?
Very little. The arm rises rather than reaches, so it stays close to the wall and works in a hallway or beside a door where depth is limited.
What bulb suits it?
A candle style bulb in warm white, dimmable. That is what completes the effect. A cold or oversized bulb undoes the whole shape.
Should I fit them in pairs?
Pairs suit it best, flanking a fireplace, a doorway or a mirror. The upright form is symmetrical, so two facing each other frame a wall neatly.
How do I keep the brass right?
Dry soft cloth only. The seal keeps the colour, and polish is the one thing that will wear it unevenly over time.
