Renowned for built-to-last quality with a timeless feel, Hudson Valley offers a modern lighting collection with elegant touches, recalling vintage inspiration. From dens and dining rooms to bedsides and bathrooms, modern Hudson Valley wall sconces add a pop of light and versatile elegance. The glassmaker’s craft of using an “optic mold” to create desired interior textures and designs was invented by Roman glassworkers and flourished in Venice in the Middle Ages. Using this ancient “optic” technique, the Hudson Valley Breton wall sconce features a glass bulb is housed in a hand-blown oval diffuser. This diffuser is perfectly clear on the outside with a wavy horizontal pattern worked in its bulb-facing side. These interior lines are in the “optic” tradition, valued in heritage pieces such as Depression glass.
