Reimagining the classic architectural torchiere with streamlined modern proportions, the Carys Wall Sconce pairs timeless brass metalwork with tailored fabric shade craft. Anchored by a clean circular backplate, its elongated brass stem features hand-turned knurling details that extend into a slender decorative tail. Topped with a crisp, tapered linen shade, Carys diffuses a soft, flattering glow upward and outward, bringing tall vertical elegance and warm atmospheric light to hallway galleries, dining piers, or bedroom bedside flanks.

The Craft Behind the Light

Cast, Turned, and
Polished by Hand

Every fixture in this collection begins as solid brass — not a plated shell. From the foundry floor to the final buff, each piece passes through the hands of metalworkers before it ever reaches you.

How It's Made

From Raw Stock to Radiant Light

Six stages, done in sequence, most of them by hand. Skip any one and the lamp comes out thin, dull, or short-lived — so we don't skip any of them.

1
Raw brass ingots

Stage 01 · Material

Solid brass, sourced by the rod

Every fixture starts as solid brass rod and sheet stock — a copper-zinc alloy chosen for its weight, workability, and the way it ages. No zinc die-cast base, no plastic core wrapped in a thin coat of color.

Cartridge & naval brass alloysMill-certified stock
2
Sand casting and metal spinning

Stage 02 · Forming

Given its first shape

Solid components — finials, arms, fittings — are sand-cast from molten brass poured at around 1,700°F. Shades and bodies are metal-spun instead: a flat brass disc is pressed against a spinning form until it flows into a shade's curve, a slower and stronger method than stamping.

Sand castingLathe metal spinning
3
Precision lathe turning

Stage 03 · Precision

Trued on the lathe

Cast and spun parts come off rough. Each is chucked onto a lathe and turned true — walls brought to even thickness, threads cut for sockets and finials, edges faced flat so every joint seats without a gap.

Hand-polishing

Stage 04 · Finish Work

Buffed in three grades

A rough tripoli compound cuts down casting marks and tool lines first. A finer rouge compound follows, brought up by hand against a cloth buffing wheel until the surface holds a genuine mirror — not a sprayed sheen.

Lacquering and patina bath

Stage 05 · Protection or Age

Sealed bright, or aged on purpose

Polished pieces are sprayed with a clear protective lacquer to hold their shine against tarnish. Antiqued pieces instead go through a chemical patina bath, then are hand-rubbed back at the high points — so the aged look sits in the grooves, the way decades of real wear would leave it.

Assembly and testing

Stage 06 · Final Checks

Wired, lit, and checked by hand

Sockets, wiring, and hardware are assembled and every unit is powered on before it's packed. A finisher runs a hand over every surface for burrs or missed spots — the last inspection is still a person, not a scanner.

Why It Matters

Solid Brass, Not a Coating

Many "brass" fixtures are zinc alloy or steel with a few microns of brass plating — a finish that can wear through at edges and corners within a year or two, exposing a dull grey base underneath.

Ours is brass all the way through. There's no coating to wear off, because there's nothing underneath it to expose. A scratch on a solid brass piece reveals more brass — and can simply be re-polished away.

Breaking Down the Material

Brass Isn't One Recipe

"Brass" isn't a single formula — the copper-to-zinc ratio changes both the properties and the use case. We choose the alloy for each part based on the load and setting it needs to handle, rather than using one blend throughout.

C27000

Cartridge Brass

Copper 65%Zinc 35%

The most ductile common brass alloy — well suited to stamping and deep drawing, resists cracking, with a warmer gold tone.

Used for Stamped shade components, thin-walled spun parts
C36000

Free-Cutting Brass

Copper 61%Zinc 36%Lead 3%

A small lead addition produces shorter chips and a smoother finish when turned, giving higher precision and efficiency on the lathe.

Used for Threaded fittings, sockets, precision-turned structural parts
C46400

Naval Brass

Copper 60%Zinc 39.2%Tin 0.8%

A small tin addition significantly boosts corrosion and dezincification resistance, so it stays sound even in prolonged humidity.

Used for Bath, outdoor, and high-humidity fixture components

In the Workshop

Where the Work Actually Happens

Casting the molten brass, buffing on the wheel, precision-turning on the lathe, through to final inspection on the rack — every stage happens on this floor, to the same standard, every time.

Finish Options

One Metal, Three Characters

The same solid brass, carried to a different finish — the difference happens at Stage 05, not sprayed on afterward. The shine, the aging speed, and the spaces each one suits all differ too.

Polished brass

Polished Brass

Buffed to a mirror at high speed, fine-grained, in the warm golden reflection of natural brass.

Shine★★★★★ Mirror reflection
AgingVery slow — sealed under lacquer before it ships
SuitsModern luxe, boutique display, formal receiving rooms
Antique brass

Antique Brass

Chemically aged, then hand-rubbed for color — the recesses run darker, giving it weight and depth.

Shine★★☆☆☆ Low, diffuse light
AgingNearly static — the aged color is already fixed and sealed
SuitsAmerican vintage, industrial, period-home renovations
Satin brass

Satin Brass

An even, fine-grained brushed texture that reflects a soft, satin-like matte sheen.

Shine★★★☆☆ Soft, diffuse glow
AgingSlow — the brushed texture naturally hides tarnish marks
SuitsNordic modern, Japanese minimalist, boutique offices

◈ Specifying a Finish

Order by number, not by name. "Antique brass," "aged brass," "burnished brass" — ask five workshops what those mean and five different metals come back. Finish 04 is the same physical sample in our studio, on the atelier bench, and on your packing list.

And because no screen renders metal honestly, we ship the physical panels before anything is committed. Hold them against your cabinetry and wall paint, at the hour you actually use the room — then send the number.

Before It Ships

What We Check, Every Single Time

Standards that apply to every fixture that leaves the workshop — not a sample batch.

Powered-On Test

Every unit is wired and lit before packing — not spot-checked.

Weight Check

Weighed against spec — a light piece signals a thin or hollow cast.

Tarnish Testing

Lacquer coats are checked for even coverage before final polish.

Hand Inspection

A finisher runs a hand over every surface for burrs or missed spots.

Everyday Care

A Patina That Only Gets Better with Time

Solid brass oxidizes naturally over time — that's its nature, not a flaw. A little care keeps the shine even and lasting longer.

Daily Dusting

Wipe the surface weekly with a dry soft cloth or feather duster to keep dust and grime from settling into the texture.

Anti-Tarnish Care

On polished pieces, apply a thin layer of dedicated brass wax every 3–6 months for an extra layer of protection over the lacquer.

Environment

Avoid prolonged exposure to damp, salt spray, or direct kitchen smoke — take extra care above bathtubs and stovetops.

What to Avoid

Never use bleach, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners — these chemicals corrode the lacquer and speed up surface clouding.

The antique finish needs no extra waxing — its surface has already been chemically aged and color-fixed. The handprints and subtle shading it picks up with everyday use are exactly the look this finish is meant to have.

In the End

Made to Be Used, and to Last

A solid brass fixture doesn't stay new — it ages, and that's the point. Years from now, it should still be the same metal it started as, just with a little more history in it.
