The St Jacques small wall light features an upward-facing sconce design inspired by the natural form of a scallop shell. It is crafted from a single solid piece of cast brass, formed by pouring molten brass into a mould and finished through a series of hand processes to achieve its antiqued polish. Unlike pressed brass or iron alternatives, the solid cast construction gives the fitting a substantial weight and density. The antiqued finish adds depth and warmth to the surface of the brass.
Most things of true beauty originate in nature, and the scallop shell has given designers an endless gift. This uplit wall sconce is almost as good as it gets. It's made from a solid piece of cast brass - i.e. molten brass is poured into a mould, which then goes through a series of processes by hand, and ultimately polished to have this antiqued finish. It is not made from pressed brass or iron, as many would be. It's heavy, serious, substantial and utterly lovely. Man and nature in perfect unison.
