The Clessidra Mid-Century Bowtie Wall Sconce revives one of design's most iconic silhouettes. Two opal-white glass cones meet at a cinched brass waist, forming a crisp hourglass that throws warm light both upward and downward. Set against a round brass backplate, the design is equal parts retro and refined — a true mid-century statement. As part of our collection of brass wall sconces, this up-and-down bowtie light brings timeless character and balanced illumination to any wall.
The Clessidra's dual-cone glow makes it as practical as it is beautiful, washing the wall above and below with a soft, even light. It suits mid-century modern, transitional, and contemporary interiors, and looks especially striking mounted in pairs beside a bed, mirror, or hallway. Where vintage design meets modern craftsmanship, the Clessidra redefines the ambiance of your living space.
