About the Item
With its bold geometry and elemental presence, this 21st-century steel sconce reads as both strikingly modern and unmistakably rooted in early American tradition. Three deep candle cups anchor the base—scalloped like a Shaker bonnet rack—while the silhouette above rises in a strong, almost ecclesiastical circle, cut from a single sheet of raw steel. The surface is mottled with heat marks, oxidation, and depth, giving it a patina that feels earned, not applied. There’s no ornament here, just proportion and weight doing the work. It’s the kind of object that could hang in a colonial meetinghouse—or in a Brutalist townhouse downtown. A piece that transcends its function, casting both light and quiet authority. Use it with beeswax tapers, or leave it unlit as sculpture. Either way, it holds its own.
