A wall light that rewards closeness.
Most wall lights are chosen from a catalogue and noticed from across a room. This one is worth standing beside. The clear ribbed glass dome refracts the filament into soft vertical lines that shift as you move past, giving the fitting a presence that changes with your angle. Behind the glass, a gently curved steel arm in aged brass holds the shade 200mm from the wall, close enough to keep proportions tight and far enough to cast patterned light onto the surface behind. The brass is warm and muted, deliberately short of polished, and at eye level it sits alongside painted plaster, bare brick and pale timber without competing. A hardwired mains fitting rather than a plug-in one, it requires an earth connection and is dimmable when wired to a compatible switch. Bulb and dimmer switch are not supplied.
What you notice standing beside it.
- The ribbing is the shade: Clear vertical ribs refract the filament into broken lines that move as you pass. The texture is structural and changes the quality of the light itself, not a surface pattern applied over a smooth globe.
- Brass that reads warm, not bright: The aged finish avoids the high reflectivity of polished brass and the flatness of matt black. At close range it has depth and tone rather than glare.
- A 200mm projection that respects the wall: Shallow enough for hallways and beside beds, but enough distance for the ribbed glass to cast soft patterned light onto the plaster.
- A clean round backplate at 125mm: Covers standard wiring points without visible gaps. From a distance the fitting appears to sit directly on the wall surface.
- Dimmable from task to ambient: Wired to a compatible dimmer switch, sold separately, the light runs from full brightness beside a mirror down to a low evening glow. The ribbed glass looks different at every level.
- E14 fitting for decorative bulbs: The small Edison screw accepts filament-style LEDs, which are not supplied, so the bulb shape and warmth are yours to choose. The bulb becomes part of the design rather than something the shade hides.
- Hardwired, with an earth connection required: Class 1, so live, neutral and earth. There is no plug or flex, and the fitting should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Rooms where one fitting is enough.
A single fitting beside a hallway mirror, on a landing or flanking a bedroom doorway provides light and a visual anchor without crowding. In pairs either side of a headboard or framing a mirror above warm oak cabinetry, two create the symmetry that makes a room feel resolved. Aged brass and clear glass suit warm neutral palettes, mid-century schemes and rooms where natural materials set the tone. For inspiration on layering warm lighting with textiles and wood, our boho bedroom guide is a useful starting point.
Ribbed glass belongs at eye level.
A wall at face height is the most scrutinised surface in any room. Ceiling lights disappear above the line of sight. Table lamps sit below it. But a wall fitting occupies the exact plane where your eye rests naturally, which means every material, every finish and every curve is on permanent display. That is either a problem or an opportunity, and this fitting treats it as the latter.
The shade is a clear ribbed glass dome, not frosted, not opaque. The vertical ribbing refracts the filament into soft broken lines while keeping the bulb fully visible, so the light source itself becomes part of the design. Behind the glass, a gently curved steel arm in aged brass holds the dome 200mm from the wall on a 125mm round backplate. The brass is warm and muted, closer to antique than polished, and it avoids the high sheen that competes with everything around it.
The fitting takes an E14 LED bulb, which is not supplied, and it is dimmable when wired to a compatible dimmer switch, also not supplied. There is no plug or flex on this fitting: it is hardwired into a mains lighting point and requires an earth connection, so installation is a job for a qualified electrician. Once in, it moves from task brightness beside a mirror to a quiet glow for evening reading. The aged brass finish pairs well with other warm-toned pieces in adjacent rooms, such as the Industrial Brass Desk Lamp on a nearby surface.
Six details you notice up close.
- Clear ribbed glass dome. The vertical ribbing refracts light into textured lines while keeping the bulb visible. The effect is warm and detailed without being diffuse or flat.
- Aged brass finish throughout. Arm, backplate and fittings share the same warm, muted brass tone. At eye level, it sits comfortably against painted walls, bare plaster and natural timber.
- 200mm projection from the wall. Close enough to avoid catching shoulders in hallways and beside beds, but far enough to let the ribbed glass throw patterned light onto the wall behind.
- 125mm round backplate. Covers standard UK wiring points cleanly with no visible gaps or exposed fixings around the edge.
- E14 LED fitting, bulb not included. The small Edison screw accepts a wide range of decorative filament bulbs, letting you choose the shape and warmth that suit the room. Supply your own to match.
- Dimmable with a compatible switch. A dimmer switch is not supplied with the fitting. Wired to one, the light moves from bright task use beside a mirror to a low ambient glow after dark.
Why the arm's curve matters.
The curved arm is not decorative for its own sake. It holds the glass dome at a specific distance from the wall, creating a gap between the light source and the surface behind it. That gap is what allows the ribbed glass to cast patterned refracted light onto the plaster rather than flooding it flat. A straight arm would push the shade further out and lose the relationship between the fitting and the surface it sits on. The curve keeps everything tight, proportional and close, which is what a compact wall fitting at this scale needs. It also means the shade sits within the natural sightline rather than jutting forward into the room.
Where aged brass earns its place.
Aged brass at eye level catches ambient light and returns it with warmth, not glare. In a hallway with dark olive walls and pale skirting, a single fitting beside a mirror adds depth without disrupting the palette. In a bedroom, paired either side of a linen-upholstered headboard against soft stone or warm putty walls, it replaces the bedside lamp entirely and frees the nightstand. On a landing where no table or shelf exists, it provides both light and a visual anchor where the wall would otherwise sit bare. The compact 125mm backplate and shallow 200mm depth suit tight walls, alcoves and the narrow strip between a door frame and a corner where deeper fittings would not sit comfortably.
Before you order.
- Hardwired installation, no plug or flex. This is a mains wall light rather than a plug-in fitting. It wires directly into an existing lighting point, so there must be a wired outlet at the position you have chosen. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
- Class 1: an earth connection is required. The fitting must be connected to live, neutral and earth. The circuit needs a protective earth conductor, which is standard on most UK domestic lighting circuits but should be confirmed in older properties before ordering.
- No bulb or switch supplied. The fitting takes an E14 small Edison screw LED, bought separately. Decorative filament styles show beautifully through the clear ribbed glass, and a warm white between 2200K and 2700K gives the best result with the aged brass. A compatible dimmer switch is also sold separately and is needed if you want to dim the light.
- IP20, indoor use only. Not rated for bathrooms, en suites or any location exposed to moisture, steam or direct water contact.
- Dimensions: 265 x 125 x 200mm. Measure the wall position against adjacent mirrors, frames or headboards before committing. For paired installations either side of a bed or mirror, allow at least 600mm between the two backplate centres.

Ribbed glass wall light: questions answered.
The fitting itself: the aged brass arm, the round backplate and the clear ribbed glass shade. A bulb is not included, a dimmer switch is not included, and there is no plug or flex, as this is a hardwired mains fitting rather than a plug-in lamp.
Yes. This is a Class 1 fitting, which means it must be connected to live, neutral and earth. The lighting circuit it is wired into needs a protective earth conductor. That is standard on most UK domestic circuits, but it is worth confirming in an older property before ordering, and the fitting should be installed by a qualified electrician.
No. There is no plug or trailing flex on this fitting. It wires directly into an existing mains lighting point, so there needs to be a wired outlet at the position you have chosen. If there is no wiring at that spot, an electrician will need to run a supply to it before the light can be fitted.
It takes an E14 small Edison screw LED, which is not supplied. Decorative filament styles in a warm white between 2200K and 2700K look best through the clear ribbed glass. A candle, globe or tubular filament bulb all work well and each gives the shade a slightly different character. If you intend to dim the light, the bulb must also be a dimmable type.
The fitting is dimmable, but a dimmer switch is not supplied and will need to be fitted to the circuit separately. It matters more than usual here because the ribbed glass changes character at different brightness levels: at full output the ribbing casts defined lines on the wall behind, and dimmed low those lines soften into a quiet warm glow.
The vertical ribs refract the filament into soft broken lines rather than projecting a single bright point. The effect is warm, textured light that shifts slightly as you move past the fitting. Because the glass is clear rather than frosted, the decorative bulb remains fully visible inside the dome.
A frosted shade diffuses light evenly but hides the bulb. An opaque shade directs light up or down and conceals the source entirely. Clear ribbed glass does neither: it softens the light while keeping the filament on display, which makes the bulb itself part of the visual design.
Hallways, landings, either side of a bed and beside mirrors, wherever there is an existing wiring point. The aged brass and clear glass suit warm neutral palettes, mid-century schemes and rooms built around natural materials. It pairs naturally with warm-toned pieces in adjacent rooms, such as the Woven Seagrass Table Lamp on a nearby surface.
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is designed for dry indoor environments only. It is not suitable for any zone in a bathroom, en-suite or any space where it may be exposed to moisture or steam.
Yes, and pairs are one of the strongest uses for this fitting. Either side of a mirror, headboard or doorway, space them at least 600mm between backplate centres for a balanced, symmetrical arrangement. Bear in mind each fitting needs its own wiring point, so a pair means two supplies rather than one.
265mm tall, 125mm wide, 200mm projection from the wall. Weight 0.43 kg. Aged brass finish on steel with a clear ribbed glass dome shade. E14 LED bulb fitting, bulb not included. Dimmable with a compatible switch, not included. Hardwired with no plug or flex. 220-240V, Class 1 with earth connection required, IP20. Single light, curved arm, round backplate.
Brass and glass at eye level.
Wall lights in aged brass sit comfortably within both contemporary and period-inspired schemes. Choosing the right room context and pairing them with complementary materials makes the difference between a fitting that blends in and one that anchors the space.

No. It is rated IP20, which means it is designed for dry indoor environments only. It is not suitable for any zone in a bathroom, en-suite or any space where it may be exposed to moisture or steam.
Yes, and pairs are one of the strongest uses for this fitting. Either side of a mirror, headboard or doorway, space them at least 600mm between backplate centres for a balanced, symmetrical arrangement. Bear in mind each fitting needs its own wiring point, so a pair means two supplies rather than one.

Wall lights in aged brass sit comfortably within both contemporary and period-inspired schemes. Choosing the right room context and pairing them with complementary materials makes the difference between a fitting that blends in and one that anchors the space.
Overview
A wall light that rewards closeness.
Most wall lights are chosen from a catalogue and noticed from across a room. This one is worth standing beside. The clear ribbed glass dome refracts the filament into soft vertical lines that shift as you move past, giving the fitting a presence that changes with your angle. Behind the glass, a gently curved steel arm in aged brass holds the shade 200mm from the wall, close enough to keep proportions tight and far enough to cast patterned light onto the surface behind. The brass is warm and muted, deliberately short of polished, and at eye level it sits alongside painted plaster, bare brick and pale timber without competing. A hardwired mains fitting rather than a plug-in one, it requires an earth connection and is dimmable when wired to a compatible switch. Bulb and dimmer switch are not supplied.
What you notice standing beside it.
- The ribbing is the shade: Clear vertical ribs refract the filament into broken lines that move as you pass. The texture is structural and changes the quality of the light itself, not a surface pattern applied over a smooth globe.
- Brass that reads warm, not bright: The aged finish avoids the high reflectivity of polished brass and the flatness of matt black. At close range it has depth and tone rather than glare.
- A 200mm projection that respects the wall: Shallow enough for hallways and beside beds, but enough distance for the ribbed glass to cast soft patterned light onto the plaster.
- A clean round backplate at 125mm: Covers standard wiring points without visible gaps. From a distance the fitting appears to sit directly on the wall surface.
- Dimmable from task to ambient: Wired to a compatible dimmer switch, sold separately, the light runs from full brightness beside a mirror down to a low evening glow. The ribbed glass looks different at every level.
- E14 fitting for decorative bulbs: The small Edison screw accepts filament-style LEDs, which are not supplied, so the bulb shape and warmth are yours to choose. The bulb becomes part of the design rather than something the shade hides.
- Hardwired, with an earth connection required: Class 1, so live, neutral and earth. There is no plug or flex, and the fitting should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Rooms where one fitting is enough.
A single fitting beside a hallway mirror, on a landing or flanking a bedroom doorway provides light and a visual anchor without crowding. In pairs either side of a headboard or framing a mirror above warm oak cabinetry, two create the symmetry that makes a room feel resolved. Aged brass and clear glass suit warm neutral palettes, mid-century schemes and rooms where natural materials set the tone. For inspiration on layering warm lighting with textiles and wood, our boho bedroom guide is a useful starting point.
Description
Ribbed glass belongs at eye level.
A wall at face height is the most scrutinised surface in any room. Ceiling lights disappear above the line of sight. Table lamps sit below it. But a wall fitting occupies the exact plane where your eye rests naturally, which means every material, every finish and every curve is on permanent display. That is either a problem or an opportunity, and this fitting treats it as the latter.
The shade is a clear ribbed glass dome, not frosted, not opaque. The vertical ribbing refracts the filament into soft broken lines while keeping the bulb fully visible, so the light source itself becomes part of the design. Behind the glass, a gently curved steel arm in aged brass holds the dome 200mm from the wall on a 125mm round backplate. The brass is warm and muted, closer to antique than polished, and it avoids the high sheen that competes with everything around it.
The fitting takes an E14 LED bulb, which is not supplied, and it is dimmable when wired to a compatible dimmer switch, also not supplied. There is no plug or flex on this fitting: it is hardwired into a mains lighting point and requires an earth connection, so installation is a job for a qualified electrician. Once in, it moves from task brightness beside a mirror to a quiet glow for evening reading. The aged brass finish pairs well with other warm-toned pieces in adjacent rooms, such as the Industrial Brass Desk Lamp on a nearby surface.
Six details you notice up close.
- Clear ribbed glass dome. The vertical ribbing refracts light into textured lines while keeping the bulb visible. The effect is warm and detailed without being diffuse or flat.
- Aged brass finish throughout. Arm, backplate and fittings share the same warm, muted brass tone. At eye level, it sits comfortably against painted walls, bare plaster and natural timber.
- 200mm projection from the wall. Close enough to avoid catching shoulders in hallways and beside beds, but far enough to let the ribbed glass throw patterned light onto the wall behind.
- 125mm round backplate. Covers standard UK wiring points cleanly with no visible gaps or exposed fixings around the edge.
- E14 LED fitting, bulb not included. The small Edison screw accepts a wide range of decorative filament bulbs, letting you choose the shape and warmth that suit the room. Supply your own to match.
- Dimmable with a compatible switch. A dimmer switch is not supplied with the fitting. Wired to one, the light moves from bright task use beside a mirror to a low ambient glow after dark.
Why the arm's curve matters.
The curved arm is not decorative for its own sake. It holds the glass dome at a specific distance from the wall, creating a gap between the light source and the surface behind it. That gap is what allows the ribbed glass to cast patterned refracted light onto the plaster rather than flooding it flat. A straight arm would push the shade further out and lose the relationship between the fitting and the surface it sits on. The curve keeps everything tight, proportional and close, which is what a compact wall fitting at this scale needs. It also means the shade sits within the natural sightline rather than jutting forward into the room.
Where aged brass earns its place.
Aged brass at eye level catches ambient light and returns it with warmth, not glare. In a hallway with dark olive walls and pale skirting, a single fitting beside a mirror adds depth without disrupting the palette. In a bedroom, paired either side of a linen-upholstered headboard against soft stone or warm putty walls, it replaces the bedside lamp entirely and frees the nightstand. On a landing where no table or shelf exists, it provides both light and a visual anchor where the wall would otherwise sit bare. The compact 125mm backplate and shallow 200mm depth suit tight walls, alcoves and the narrow strip between a door frame and a corner where deeper fittings would not sit comfortably.
Before you order.
- Hardwired installation, no plug or flex. This is a mains wall light rather than a plug-in fitting. It wires directly into an existing lighting point, so there must be a wired outlet at the position you have chosen. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
- Class 1: an earth connection is required. The fitting must be connected to live, neutral and earth. The circuit needs a protective earth conductor, which is standard on most UK domestic lighting circuits but should be confirmed in older properties before ordering.
- No bulb or switch supplied. The fitting takes an E14 small Edison screw LED, bought separately. Decorative filament styles show beautifully through the clear ribbed glass, and a warm white between 2200K and 2700K gives the best result with the aged brass. A compatible dimmer switch is also sold separately and is needed if you want to dim the light.
- IP20, indoor use only. Not rated for bathrooms, en suites or any location exposed to moisture, steam or direct water contact.
- Dimensions: 265 x 125 x 200mm. Measure the wall position against adjacent mirrors, frames or headboards before committing. For paired installations either side of a bed or mirror, allow at least 600mm between the two backplate centres.

FAQs
Ribbed glass wall light: questions answered.
The fitting itself: the aged brass arm, the round backplate and the clear ribbed glass shade. A bulb is not included, a dimmer switch is not included, and there is no plug or flex, as this is a hardwired mains fitting rather than a plug-in lamp.
Yes. This is a Class 1 fitting, which means it must be connected to live, neutral and earth. The lighting circuit it is wired into needs a protective earth conductor. That is standard on most UK domestic circuits, but it is worth confirming in an older property before ordering, and the fitting should be installed by a qualified electrician.
No. There is no plug or trailing flex on this fitting. It wires directly into an existing mains lighting point, so there needs to be a wired outlet at the position you have chosen. If there is no wiring at that spot, an electrician will need to run a supply to it before the light can be fitted.
It takes an E14 small Edison screw LED, which is not supplied. Decorative filament styles in a warm white between 2200K and 2700K look best through the clear ribbed glass. A candle, globe or tubular filament bulb all work well and each gives the shade a slightly different character. If you intend to dim the light, the bulb must also be a dimmable type.
The fitting is dimmable, but a dimmer switch is not supplied and will need to be fitted to the circuit separately. It matters more than usual here because the ribbed glass changes character at different brightness levels: at full output the ribbing casts defined lines on the wall behind, and dimmed low those lines soften into a quiet warm glow.
The vertical ribs refract the filament into soft broken lines rather than projecting a single bright point. The effect is warm, textured light that shifts slightly as you move past the fitting. Because the glass is clear rather than frosted, the decorative bulb remains fully visible inside the dome.
A frosted shade diffuses light evenly but hides the bulb. An opaque shade directs light up or down and conceals the source entirely. Clear ribbed glass does neither: it softens the light while keeping the filament on display, which makes the bulb itself part of the visual design.
Hallways, landings, either side of a bed and beside mirrors, wherever there is an existing wiring point.
