Maxim Lighting Charlton Wall Sconce

Charlton is a wall sconce from Maxim Lighting. It measures 11.75 in (29.8 cm) wide by 8.75 in (22.2 cm) high, extending 6 in (15.2 cm) from the wall. It is offered in Weathered White/Gold Leaf or Black / Antique Brass.

The Design Story

Charlton gives the candelabra a streamlined edit. Classic curves are kept, ornament is reduced, and two palettes set the mood: black with antique brass for a stately look, or weathered white with gold leaf for something lighter and more decorative. Chandeliers and multi-tier versions in the family let you choose a scale for the room. Mid-century and traditional influences meet in the sweeping arms, while incandescent lamps give a warm, flame-like glow that suits dining rooms and entries.

Why You’ll Love It

It takes E12 Candelabra bulbs up to 60W per socket, which makes it easy to choose your own color temperature and brightness. Materials: steel.

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.
