Description The Flessen is a single-light wall sconce cast in solid brass and finished in gunmetal, with a turned backplate and a single upward-facing arm holding an SES (E14) bulb fitting. The fitting sits 19cm out from the wall, placing the light source forward of the backplate to cast light both upward and back onto the wall behind. Designed for hallways, bedside positions, and staircases in period and traditional interiors, the Flessen pairs a classical candle-sconce silhouette with a dark metallic finish that reads closer to wrought iron than polished brass. The gunmetal surface has a low sheen that minimises glare under daylight and softens reflections at night. The 23cm height and 7cm backplate diameter suit walls where a full-sized chandelier or pendant would be too large, providing ambient accent light without dominating the vertical space. The solid brass construction gives the sconce a 400g weight that feels substantial when wall-mounted, and the gunmetal finish resists fingerprints and tarnishing better than raw brass or chrome. The fitting works individually to mark a doorway or frame a mirror, or in pairs either side of a bed, fireplace or artwork. The SES bulb fitting accepts candle-style LED, halogen or filament bulbs up to 60W (sold separately), allowing the colour temperature and brightness to be chosen to suit the room. Specification Finish Gunmetal Diameter 7cm Height 23cm Projection 19cm Number of Lights 1 Maximum Wattage 60W Bulb Type SES Weight 0.40KG Frequently Asked What bulb does it take? The Flessen takes an SES (E14 small Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Candle-style LED bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K work well for ambient hallway or bedside lighting. Can it be used in pairs? Yes. The Flessen is commonly installed in pairs either side of a bed, mirror, fireplace or artwork. The 19cm projection means two sconces spaced 80-100cm apart provide balanced accent lighting without clashing in the middle. How is it mounted? The backplate fixes to the wall with two screws, typically into a plasterboard plug or directly into a masonry wall. The electrical cable feeds through the backplate and terminates inside a standard UK wall junction box or choc-bloc connection. What other finishes are available? Impex produces the Flessen in multiple finishes including polished brass, antique brass and satin nickel. Use the search function at Niori to find other variants in stock.
