Maxim Lighting Bristol Satin White Glass Wall Sconce

Bristol is a wall sconce from Maxim Lighting. It comes in 2 sizes: 1-Light, 5 in wide and 2-Light, 13.25 in wide. Satin White glass is paired with a choice of Black, Satin Nickel or Satin Brass.

The Design Story

Bristol imitates the shape of a traditional fabric shade in satin white glass, then adds the benefit of easy cleaning. Simple curved arms stretch out in long, elegant proportions and end in tapered shades that glow evenly. Anthracite, satin brass and satin nickel finishes let the form feel dark and graphic, warm and soft, or cool and bright. Linear pendants and single-tier chandeliers fit over dining tables and kitchen islands, offering the look of cloth with a more durable surface.

Why You’ll Love It

It takes E26 Medium bulbs up to 60W per socket, which makes it easy to choose your own color temperature and brightness. It can be mounted facing up or down, to suit the room. Materials: steel, glass.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Flanking a bed or a mirror, lining a hallway or stair, beside a fireplace or framing a doorway. A wall sconce adds a layer of light at eye level, which makes a room feel warmer than ceiling light alone, and it frees up nightstand and floor space.
