Handmade Forged Wall Lamp (OGD94)

OGD94 is an outdoor plafond, a round light set flat against the wall, framed by long sprays of finely carved steel acanthus.

Every detail of the frame was forged by hand into blacksmith acanthus, a form that is very hard to make and needs years of experience and knowledge. This lamp is proof of what our best blacksmiths can do, and up close you can follow every vein and curl of the leaves.

Light without projection

Because the plafond sits flat against the wall, it gives light without sticking out, so it works where a sconce on an arm would be too large: above a window, as in the photo, under a low porch or beside a narrow path. It is meant for outdoor use and hot-dip galvanized, which gives it the best possible protection against corrosion, and its bronze-gold finish goes well with facade cornices and mouldings.

A pair for the entrance

Two plafonds on either side of a door make a calm, symmetrical entrance. For a smaller acanthus sconce, see OGD95.
