The fitting sits on the wall, and the wall behind it is just a surface. This one does something different. The backplate is grooved walnut-stained wood, which means the very first thing you register is not metal but timber. It changes the relationship between the light and the wall beneath it. The fitting looks planted rather than bolted, rooted in the surface rather than fixed to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d-p\"\u003eFrom the walnut base, a brass-toned steel arm curves upward to hold a clear ribbed glass shade. The ribbing catches and refracts light as it passes through, softening the output without hiding the E14 LED bulb inside. The three materials, wood, brass and textured glass, work together at close range in a way that flat metal and smooth glass simply cannot. Dimensions are slim: 90mm wide, 150mm from the wall and 295mm tall. Weight is just 0.7 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d-p\"\u003eFully dimmable with a compatible E14 LED and dimmer switch, it gives you control over the warmth and intensity at the wall.

The vertical grooves catch light and shadow across the surface, adding depth that a flat metal plate cannot replicate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eBrass-toned steel arm.\u003c\/span\u003e The arm curves from the walnut base to the glass shade in a single sleek line. The warm brass tone bridges wood and glass, connecting the natural warmth of the backplate to the clarity of the shade above.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eClear ribbed glass shade.\u003c\/span\u003e The ribbing refracts and softens the light from the E14 LED without hiding it. The result is a warm, textured glow rather than a flat wash, with visible character in the glass itself at close range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eDimmable as standard.\u003c\/span\u003e Pair with a dimmable E14 LED and compatible switch.

Ribbed glass does something more: it bends light across the surface of the shade, creating vertical lines of brightness and shadow that shift as you move around the room. The effect is subtle but unmistakable at eye level. The shade itself becomes part of the visual interest, not just a container for the bulb. When dimmed, the ribbing holds a warm glow across its full surface. At full brightness, the texture becomes more defined and the light pattern on the wall behind it more pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d-h\"\u003eWhere walnut and brass sit best.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d-p\"\u003eBedrooms with timber panelling or slatted wood features where the walnut backplate echoes the wall surface. Living rooms with mid-century furniture in teak or oak where the warm wood tones speak the same language. Hallways on pale plaster walls where the walnut grain becomes a focal point and the ribbed glass throws textured light across the surface. Dining rooms beside a sideboard where the fitting looks like a considered object at eye level rather than a light source overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d-h d-hu\"\u003eBefore you order.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"d-ul\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eE14 LED bulb, 6W.\u003c\/span\u003e Check the listing for whether the bulb is included. Replacement E14 LEDs are widely available.

IP20 means dry interior rooms only. Not suitable for bathrooms or kitchens with direct splash zones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eSlim profile, check your wall space.\u003c\/span\u003e At 90mm wide and 295mm tall, the fitting needs less wall than most sconces but still requires clear space. If pairing, allow at least 500mm between backplates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Urban Mill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56518400967036,"sku":"WL991W","price":66.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9672\/1715\/files\/ribbed-glass-wall-light-with-walnut-backplate.jpg?v=1774373288","url":"https:\/\/www.theurbanmill.co.uk\/products\/ribbed-glass-wall-light-with-walnut-backplate-wl991w","provider":"The Urban Mill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
