The Paolo is a wall sconce from Besa in Satin Nickel, Chrome and Bronze, with glass in Glitter, Opal Matte, Carrera, Opal Frost or Stucco.
The Design Story
What sets it apart is the glass. A closed half-cylinder of glass on a slim plate, horizontal or vertical. Choose Opal Matte, Carrera, Opal Frost, Glitter or Stucco. Photos show the Satin Nickel finish; other finishes use the same glass. Besa’s signature is the glass. American designers work with European craftsmen, every shade is made by hand, and each one is inspected in Ohio before it leaves the factory, so the small variations you see are the mark of a handmade piece, not a flaw.
Why You’ll Love It
It gives a tight wall a clean shape in glass. The half-cylinder does the decorating, the plated plate stays slim, and the lamp comes included.
Made for Real Life
It is damp rated for interior rooms, so steamy baths are fine. Size: 4.75" wide x 5.5" high x 3.625" deep. It mounts horizontally or vertically. The full details are in the table below. Pairs well with Paolo 10 2-light vanity light, Paolo 3-light vanity light.
