The Melanie Wall Sconce from Alder & Ore presents an inviting mix of modern smoothness and transitional flair. Secured with a low-profile backplate, the sconce seats the lamp holder socket facing down. A semicircular steel cap in front anchors a series of slender crystal rods vertically and along its interior. These rods act as a glare-free diffuser for the lamping. The glittering crystal transforms the bulb’s bright light into a broad-reaching ambient glow.
