Conca Glass Disc Wall Sconce

The story Conca, shells of glass When the tide goes out on the Venetian lagoon, it leaves behind shells polished by the water, glowing amber in the evening light. Conca, the Italian word for shell, keeps that moment on your wall. Thirteen curved discs of textured glass, each gently cupped like a shell, are pinned to a metal frame in three tiers, wide at the top and narrowing below. Switch it on and three hidden lights shine through every disc, so the hammered glass sparkles and the wall around it fills with a soft, honeyed glow. Hang a pair either side of a bed, a fireplace, a sofa or a mirror, or use them along a hallway or staircase. In tea or black glass on an antique bronze, black or nickel frame, the Conca suits mid-century modern, retro, Hollywood Regency, eclectic and Art Deco interiors. 13curved glass discs 3tiers, wide to narrow 3G9 lights inside ×2pair option at a better price Glass and frame Make it your own Choose a glass and a frame.

Ø 30.5 cm · 12″H 29.2 cm · 11.5″ 1In living rooms and hallways Mount the centre about 150–165 cm (60–66″) from the floor, around eye level. 2Beside a bed Mount a little lower, about 120–150 cm (48–60″) from the floor, so the glow sits just above your head when you sit up. 3As a pair Either side of a mirror, fireplace or bed, space them evenly, leaving about 15–25 cm (6–10″) between each sconce and the edge of the piece. Placement heights are a design guide based on common lighting practice. ×2 Better together Buying a pair? Conca sconces look their best in twos, either side of a bed, mirror or fireplace. Select the size marked (*2): two together come at a better price than buying them separately.

The 13 discs share the same cupped shape and colour, but their hammered texture, tiny bubbles and depth of colour vary slightly from piece to piece. That is the natural character of formed glass, not a defect. Tea or black glass? Tea glass gives the warmest, brightest amber glow and the classic mid-century look. Black glass is smokier and more dramatic: the light is softer and more atmospheric, ideal against pale walls and in evening spaces. Can I order another glass colour? Yes. Other glass colours can be made on request. Please contact us with the shade you have in mind before ordering. Which frame goes with which glass? Any glass works with any frame. Antique bronze is the warmest partner for tea glass; black makes black glass bold and graphic; nickel gives a cooler, more contemporary contrast. Size and placement How big is the Conca? It measures Ø 30.5 cm × H 29.2 cm (Ø 12″ × H 11.5″), a generous size that makes a statement on its own and works beautifully as a pair. How high should I mount it? In living rooms and hallways, place the centre about 150–165 cm (60–66″) from the floor. Beside a bed, about 120–150 cm (48–60″) works best. Should I buy one or a pair? A pair either side of a bed, mirror or fireplace gives the most balanced look, and choosing the size marked (*2) gets you two at a better price than buying them separately. A single sconce makes a lovely focal point in a hallway, on a staircase or above a console. Light and installation Which bulbs does it use? Three G9 bulbs, up to 40 W in total. Warm white LED G9 bulbs of 2700–3000K bring out the colour of the glass and stay cool to the touch. Is it dimmable? The standard Conca is on/off only. A dimmable version is available on request: please contact us before ordering. How is it installed? It is a wall light for indoor use. For safety, we recommend installation by a qualified electrician, following local electrical codes. Can I use it in a bathroom? No. It is rated IP20 for indoor, dry rooms only. Care and ordering How do I clean the glass? Switch off and let the bulbs cool, then wipe each disc with a soft, dry or lightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the hammered texture. Will it work with the voltage in my country? Yes. It runs on AC 110–240 V, which covers the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and most other countries. How soon will my order ship? Each sconce is prepared at our factory in 5–10 days, then dispatched to you. You will see the delivery estimate for your country at checkout.
