'Abalone Siren's Sconce' with Real Vintage Abalone Seashell Shade

About the Item

"Venus favors the bold." —Ovid Introducing the Abalone Siren's Sconce, the fifth release from the Fall 2023 Venus Collection, a whimsical new family of handmade fixtures inspired by the Surrealists and the natural forms of the sea. Employing the latest advances in cool-to-the-touch LED technology, the collection features table lamps and wall sconces made with hand-selected vintage specimen seashells in place of traditional shades, putting the organic source material behind so much 20th century modernism front and center. Equal parts natural history and functional wall art, Model No. 022 showcases the mother-of-pearl interior of the ear-shaped abalone shell in all its iridescent glory. It consists of a terra cotta-tinted, cast-concrete base that has been permanently fused to an upcycled vintage specimen seashell, sourced from a California collector. Half-round brass fittings secure the base to wall-mounting hardware, which is included. Professional installation recommended. Need a matching pair or something a bit more bespoke? Drop us a line
