10 Easy Pieces: Retro Bath Sconces
October 29th, 2008
From Julie:
One of the most daunting tasks in a bathroom remodel is choosing the lighting; it’s dismaying how few good choices exist. We’ve covered modern fixtures in the past (10 Easy Pieces: Mod Bath Sconces); now we turn our attention to retro/industrial choices.
Below: The Sage Sconce is available in black or white porcelain and a variety of finishes; $119 at the redoubtable Electric Schoolhouse, based in Portland, Oregon.
Below: The Barn Light Sconce; $119 at Barn Light Electric, an admirable outfit that sells US-made, commercial-grade lighting.
Below: Hector Switch Wall Light, from UK company Original BTC, in porcelain and ceramic; $175 at Conran.

Original BTC makes lovely shades, but the craftsmanship of their mechanical components is dreadful. We own several of their lamps, and they are all failing. They sag, crack, and overheat - even when used with bulbs well below their maximum rating. They look nice when turned off, though!
