The Modera Dual Walnut Sconce is a distinctive double-headed wall fixture that celebrates a rich palette of organic textures. Each light is anchored by a sculptural, diamond-turned walnut wood base that exudes warmth and craftsmanship. Crowning the wooden pillars are tapered, slim-profile shades finished in a premium olive green felt, providing a soft, tactile contrast to the sleek antique brass hardware that connects the duo.
FAQ
Will the wood and felt look exactly like the photo?
Very close, but wood is a natural material, so there will be small differences. The base is a walnut-colored wooden piece, and the grain pattern and the depth of the tone can vary from one lamp to the next. If you order a pair, expect them to look like relatives rather than identical twins. The felt shade has a soft, matte texture that photographs a little flatter than it looks in a room. The antique-style metal parts connecting the two heads follow the same design every time. Orders take 5 to 10 days on average to prepare before they ship.
Which shade color should I pick, and how does the light look through it?
You can choose white, red, or green. White gives the softest, most neutral glow and suits almost any wall. Green, the olive shade shown in the photo, is calm and earthy, and it pairs well with wood and brass. Red is the boldest choice, and it works best when you want the lamp to be a statement. The shade is made of dense felt, so the light is warm and subdued rather than bright, and a deeper color tints the glow slightly. If you want a lamp that's clearly visible without being loud, green is the safe middle ground.
What bulb should I use?
Use an LED or Edison bulb with an E27 base. A warm white LED around 2700K suits the walnut and felt best and keeps things cool under a fabric shade. The shades are tapered and slim, so choose a standard-size bulb rather than a very large or long one. Check the maximum wattage on the fixture's label before you buy, and stay within it. Switch the lamp off and let the bulb cool before changing it.
Which size should I choose?
There are two sizes. Both are 21cm (8.3") deep and 39cm (15.4") tall, and the difference is the length along the wall. One is 15cm (5.9") long, and the other is 34cm (13.4") long. Pick based on the wall space you have, such as the width of a nightstand or the gap beside a mirror. A common starting point is hanging it so the shades sit around eye level, roughly 150cm from the floor to the center. Cut a piece of paper to size and tape it to the wall to preview it, and remember that 21cm is a fair amount to stick out in a narrow hallway.
Can I dim it, and do I need an electrician to install it?
It has a push button switch and isn't dimmable, so it can't be used with a dimmer. The sconce is wall mounted and runs on AC 110 to 240V, which suits most homes. If you're connecting it to wiring in the wall, a licensed electrician is the safe choice. Turn the power off at the breaker before anyone starts work. The base is solid wood and metal, so fix it securely with proper wall anchors or into a stud.
How do I look after the felt shade and the wood?
Switch the light off and let the bulb cool first. A lint roller or a soft brush takes dust off the felt without rubbing it in. For the wooden base, use a soft, dry cloth and avoid sprays or wet cloths, which can mark the finish. The lamp is made for indoor, dry rooms, so keep it out of bathrooms and away from steam. Damp air can affect both the felt and the wood over time. If a mark appears on the felt, dab it gently rather than rubbing.
