Black candlestick. White fabric glow.
A matt black wall light with vintage white cylindrical fabric shade. 405 mm tall, 130 mm wide, 170 mm deep, 0.5 kg. The candlestick proportion rises vertically from the backplate with a slim black stem and a white fabric cylinder at the top that radiates light evenly upward, outward and downward. E14 candle bulb, not included. Dimmable. Class 1, earth required. IP20 indoor only. 220-240 V.
What the tall black candlestick changes.
- It rises rather than spreads: At 405 mm tall and 130 mm wide, the fitting has vertical presence that compact sconces lack. The candlestick proportion suits tall walls and slim positions.
- It glows in three directions: The fabric cylinder radiates up through the open top, out through the weave and down through the open base. Three registers of soft light from one shade.
- It disappears into dark walls: The matt black stem absorbs light and recedes. On dark-painted walls the black vanishes and the white shade appears to float.
- It dims to warm amber fabric: Dimming shifts the vintage white shade toward a deeper tone. The matt black stem recedes further as the light drops.
- It fits narrow positions: At 130 mm wide the fitting sits beside doorframes and on pilasters without overhang.
- It wires to earth: Class 1. Live, neutral and earth connections. Standard for metal-bodied fittings.
Dark walls and rooms that dim.
In a hallway on a dark wall where the black stem vanishes and the shade floats. In pairs flanking a bed headboard where the 405 mm height provides elegant proportion. On a landing above a console where the candlestick echoes a framed mirror. In a dining room on charcoal or olive walls, dimmed to a low amber. For more ideas on how neutral and warm-toned bedrooms work with considered wall lighting, our neutral bedroom inspiration guide covers palette, texture and light.
The tallest, slimmest wall light here.
At 405 mm tall and 130 mm wide, this fitting has the proportions of a candlestick compressed to the wall. Most wall lights are wider than they are tall. This one inverts that relationship entirely, rising vertically from its backplate like a slim black column with a vintage white fabric cylinder at the top. The height gives the fitting presence on a wall where a compact sconce would disappear. The narrowness means it occupies almost no horizontal space, fitting beside doorframes, on pilasters and in the slim gaps between architectural features that wider fittings cannot reach.
The matt black finish is flat and non-reflective. It absorbs light, which means the fitting recedes into the wall and the vintage white fabric shade becomes the only visible glow. The shade is a cylinder, not a drum or cone, radiating light evenly around its circumference: upward through the open top, outward through the fabric, and downward through the open base. A soft, even halo on the wall rather than a directional beam.
Dimmable with a compatible E14 candle bulb and dimmer switch. When dimmed, the white fabric takes on a warm amber tone and the matt black stem disappears further into the wall. For a black pendant to carry the same matt black direction overhead, the Architectural Circular Pendant Light in Black provides the ceiling companion in a complementary material.
What the black candlestick delivers.
- 405 mm tall, 130 mm wide. The candlestick proportion gives the fitting vertical presence that compact sconces lack. The slim profile fits narrow wall positions where wider fittings overhang or crowd.
- Vintage white fabric cylinder shade. The shade radiates light evenly in all directions: up, out and down. The fabric softens the E14 candle bulb into a warm, diffused glow without the coldness of glass or the directional focus of a cone.
- Matt black metal stem and backplate. Flat, non-reflective finish that absorbs light and recedes into the wall. The black lets the white shade do the visual work, creating a clean contrast between dark structure and warm glow.
- Dimmable with E14 candle bulb. Not included. Full brightness for task-level wall washing, dimmed for ambient evening warmth. Dimming shifts the white fabric toward a deeper amber tone.
- 170 mm depth at 0.5 kg. The fitting projects 170 mm from the wall. Close enough for hallways and narrow corridors. Light enough for standard wall fixings on plasterboard.
- Class 1, IP20, 220-240 V. Earth connection required. Indoor dry positions only. Standard UK mains wiring with live, neutral and earth.
Why the cylinder shade works here.
A drum shade is wide and short. It spreads light horizontally and suits wide fittings. A cone directs light downward. A cylinder is tall and narrow, matching the candlestick proportion of the stem below. The light radiates evenly around its circumference, creating a soft, columnar glow that extends the vertical line of the fitting rather than interrupting it. The fabric diffuses without direction: the wall above gets a wash from the open top, the wall around gets a gentle glow through the fabric, and the surface below gets a pool from the open base. Three registers of light from one shade.
Hallways, bedsides and dark-painted walls.
In a hallway on a dark-painted wall where the matt black stem vanishes into the paint and the white shade appears to float, glowing, against the surface. In pairs flanking a bed headboard where the 405 mm height provides a taller, more elegant proportion than a standard bedside sconce. On a landing wall above a console table where the candlestick form echoes the verticality of a framed mirror above. In a living room on a feature wall where the contrast between matt black and vintage white creates a graphic, considered element. In a dining room on a dark olive or charcoal wall, dimmed to a low amber during a meal.
Before You Order.
- E14 candle bulb required. Not included. Dimmable LED candle bulb in warm white recommended. The fabric shade hides the bulb shape entirely so the form of the E14 does not matter.
- Class 1 with earth connection required. Live, neutral and earth wiring. Standard for metal-bodied wall fittings.
- Fabric shade care. The vintage white fabric can be dusted gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid water and cleaning products. The matt black stem can be wiped with a dry cloth.

FAQs: Matt Black Fabric Wall Light.
The 405 mm height gives the fitting a candlestick proportion: tall, slim and vertical. Most wall lights are wider than tall. This one inverts that, rising from the backplate like a slim column. The height provides presence on walls where a compact sconce would disappear.
The cylinder radiates in three directions: upward through the open top, outward through the fabric weave and downward through the open base. The result is a soft, even halo on the wall rather than a directional beam. The fabric diffuses without focusing.
An E14 candle bulb, not included. The vintage white fabric completely hides the bulb shape, so the form does not matter. A warm white dimmable LED candle between 2700 K and 3000 K gives the warmest result through the fabric.
Dark-painted walls where the matt black stem vanishes and the white shade appears to float. Flanking a bed headboard in pairs. A landing wall above a console. A living room feature wall where the black and white contrast creates a graphic element. A dining room on charcoal or olive walls. For a black mirror to complete a hallway scheme, the Simplistic Round Wall Mirror in Black provides a matching dark frame.
Dimming shifts the vintage white fabric toward a deeper, warmer amber tone. The matt black stem recedes further into the wall as the light drops. On low, the shade becomes a warm, soft object rather than a bright light source.
Yes. On white or pale walls the matt black creates a clean, graphic contrast that gives the fitting definition. On dark walls the black recedes and the white shade floats. Both work, but the character changes entirely with the wall colour behind.
Yes. At 130 mm wide and 170 mm deep the fitting projects modestly from the wall. The slim profile suits narrow corridors where deeper or wider fittings would encroach on the walkway.
No. IP20 and the fabric shade mean this is designed for dry rooms only. The fabric is not suitable for moisture. For bathrooms, choose a fitting rated IP44 or higher.
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid water and cleaning products on the fabric. The matt black stem can be wiped with a dry cloth.
Dimensions: 405 mm (H) x 130 mm (W) x 170 mm (D). Finish: matt black metal. Shade: vintage white fabric cylinder. Bulb: E14 candle, not included. Dimmable: yes. Voltage: 220-240 V. Class: 1 (earth required). IP: 20. Weight: 0.5 kg.
Dark fittings in warm rooms.
A matt black wall light works best when the room around it provides contrast: pale walls let the black define the fitting, dark walls let it disappear and the shade float. Either way, the scheme needs warmth from other sources to balance the black. These guides cover how to build rooms where dark-finished lighting and warm textures work together.

The light radiates evenly around its circumference, creating a soft, columnar glow that extends the vertical line of the fitting rather than interrupting it. The fabric diffuses without direction: the wall above gets a wash from the open top, the wall around gets a gentle glow through the fabric, and the surface below gets a pool from the open base. Three registers of light from one shade.

In pairs flanking a bed headboard where the 405 mm height provides a taller, more elegant proportion than a standard bedside sconce. On a landing wall above a console table where the candlestick form echoes the verticality of a framed mirror above. In a living room on a feature wall where the contrast between matt black and vintage white creates a graphic, considered element. In a dining room on a dark olive or charcoal wall, dimmed to a low amber during a meal.

- Fabric shade care. The vintage white fabric can be dusted gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid water and cleaning products. The matt black stem can be wiped with a dry cloth.

FAQs
FAQs: Matt Black Fabric Wall Light.
The 405 mm height gives the fitting a candlestick proportion: tall, slim and vertical. Most wall lights are wider than tall. This one inverts that, rising from the backplate like a slim column. The height provides presence on walls where a compact sconce would disappear.
The cylinder radiates in three directions: upward through the open top, outward through the fabric weave and downward through the open base. The result is a soft, even halo on the wall rather than a directional beam. The fabric diffuses without focusing.
An E14 candle bulb, not included. The vintage white fabric completely hides the bulb shape, so the form does not matter. A warm white dimmable LED candle between 2700 K and 3000 K gives the warmest result through the fabric.
Dark-painted walls where the matt black stem vanishes and the white shade appears to float. Flanking a bed headboard in pairs. A landing wall above a console. A living room feature wall where the black and white contrast creates a graphic element. A dining room on charcoal or olive walls. For a black mirror to complete a hallway scheme, the Simplistic Round Wall Mirror in Black provides a matching dark frame.
Dimming shifts the vintage white fabric toward a deeper, warmer amber tone. The matt black stem recedes further into the wall as the light drops. On low, the shade becomes a warm, soft object rather than a bright light source.
Yes. On white or pale walls the matt black creates a clean, graphic contrast that gives the fitting definition. On dark walls the black recedes and the white shade floats. Both work, but the character changes entirely with the wall colour behind.
Yes. At 130 mm wide and 170 mm deep the fitting projects modestly from the wall. The slim profile suits narrow corridors where deeper or wider fittings would encroach on the walkway.
No. IP20 and the fabric shade mean this is designed for dry rooms only. The fabric is not suitable for moisture. For bathrooms, choose a fitting rated IP44 or higher.
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid water and cleaning products on the fabric. The matt black stem can be wiped with a dry cloth.

Knowledge Hub
Dark fittings in warm rooms.
A matt black wall light works best when the room around it provides contrast: pale walls let the black define the fitting, dark walls let it disappear and the shade float. Either way, the scheme needs warmth from other sources to balance the black. These guides cover how to build rooms where dark-finished lighting and warm textures work together.
