Hudson Valley Sperry 1 Light Wall Sconce Light - Old Bronze

A tungsten style filament bulb held tight against ribbed glass

Sperry takes its cue from a stripped back, almost industrial reading of Manhattan minimalism, holding a long, slender bulb against a rectangular backplate and behind a sleeve of ribbed glass. The closely spaced lines of the glass and the visible bulb inside create a quiet tension between engineering and design that's more common in commercial fittings than domestic ones.

Old bronze finish with ribbed glass

The backplate and fittings are finished in old bronze, a warm, deliberately aged metal tone that reads well against dark paint, panelling and traditional joinery. The glass sleeve is ribbed, adding texture and a slight softening to the light without hiding the bulb inside completely.

How it works

Sperry takes a single E27 bulb rated up to 40W (not supplied), ideally a long tubular filament style bulb to suit the fitting's proportions. It measures around 32.4cm in height and 7.6cm in width, projecting about 10.2cm from the wall, and weighs 1.9kg. As a mains wired fitting, installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Where it works best

It's designed for kitchens and dining rooms, for example flanking a range, above open shelving, or spaced along a dining wall where a slim, vertical accent is wanted. Its pared back, linear form suits contemporary and industrial leaning interiors as readily as more traditional ones.

Questions People Ask

Does the Sperry wall sconce come with a light bulb?
No, the bulb is not included. This fitting takes a single E27 bulb rated up to 40W, and a long tubular filament style bulb works best with the ribbed glass sleeve and exposed bulb design.

Can I fit this myself or do I need an electrician?
Sperry is a mains wired fitting, so it needs to be connected by a qualified electrician. We recommend using a registered NICEIC electrician for the installation.

Which rooms is the Sperry sconce suitable for?
It is rated IP20, which means it is designed for indoor use in dry to occasionally damp conditions rather than bathrooms or outdoor spaces. It works particularly well in kitchens and dining rooms, for example either side of a range or spaced along a wall.

Can I return the Sperry wall sconce if I change my mind?
This fitting is made to order by Hudson Valley Lighting, so it is not eligible for return once ordered. It is worth checking the old bronze finish, dimensions and bulb requirements carefully before placing your order.

Will the old bronze finish look exactly the same as in photos?
Old bronze is an aged metal finish, so there can be slight natural variation in tone and texture from piece to piece, which is part of its character rather than a fault.
