Beautiful and elegant sconce! Bought this to replace a very standard builder-grade bathroom vanity light in a main-floor powder room. It immediately elevated the look, adding height and visual interest and drawing the eye up to accent the rooms 10 ceilings. The shade material is nicer than many, with a slight texture reminiscent of expensive silk shades. The shades are white, but the subtle texture softens the stark look that a pure white plain shade can have. The finish is a bit brighter than what I was hoping for, with a slight orangey undertone, but will still work (in my case) with the golden-brass hardware elsewhere in the room. The quality seems good too so for the price, it is a win!
