Hudson Valley Argon 1 Light Wall Sconce Light - Aged Brass

A ridged brass candlecup against a smooth alabaster diffuser

Argon pairs a ridged aged brass candlecup with a plain, cylindrical alabaster diffuser, the two textures set deliberately against each other on a slim rectangular backplate. It's a simple sconce shape at heart, but the material contrast gives it more presence than a plain metal or glass fitting would have.

Aged brass finish with natural alabaster

The candlecup and backplate are finished in aged brass, a warm, lightly burnished tone that suits both traditional rooms and warmer contemporary schemes. The diffuser is genuine alabaster stone, so the colour and veining will vary from piece to piece and from any photography you've seen, a natural characteristic rather than an inconsistency.

How it works

It takes a single E27 bulb rated up to 40W (not supplied), housed within the alabaster diffuser so the light comes through soft and warm rather than as a direct beam. It measures around 38.7cm in height and 10.8cm in width, projecting about 10.2cm from the wall. As a mains wired fitting it should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Where it works best

It works well in living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways as an accent rather than a main light source, flanking a mirror, either side of a range or fireplace, or spaced along a run of wall. The aged brass and alabaster pairing suits interiors built around warm metals and natural materials.

About Hudson Valley Lighting

Hudson Valley Lighting is an American decorative lighting brand that takes a familiar wall light shape and adds real material depth, aged brass and natural alabaster among them. Argon is a straightforward example of that idea, a simple form made more interesting through what it's made of.

Questions People Ask

Does the Argon wall sconce include a bulb?
No, it does not come with a bulb. It takes a single E27 bulb rated up to 40W, so you will need to add a suitable E27 bulb of your choice before installing it.

Will the alabaster diffuser look exactly like the one in the photos?
Not exactly. Alabaster is a natural stone, so the colour and veining on your piece will differ slightly from the images shown and from other Argon sconces. This is a normal feature of the material rather than a fault.

Is the Argon wall sconce suitable for a bathroom?
It is rated IP20 for dry to occasionally damp conditions, which suits living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways, but it is not designed for bathrooms or other areas where it could be splashed with water.

Does the Argon sconce need to be installed by an electrician?
Yes, it is a mains wired fitting rather than a plug in lamp, so it should be connected to your electrics by a qualified electrician, ideally one registered with NICEIC.

Can I return the Argon wall sconce if I change my mind?
No, this is a made to order piece from Hudson Valley Lighting, so once your order is placed it cannot be returned. It is worth checking the aged brass finish, the dimensions and the E27 bulb requirement before you order.
