Ambrelise brass cherub K-9 crystal wall sconce lit on a cream plaster wall, casting a lace-like shadow

Brass Cherub Wall Sconce · K-9 Crystal

Ambrelise, a cherub holding the light.

A winged brass cherub perches on a round backplate and holds out a slim rod. From it hangs a glass cup and a ring of K-9 crystal strands that glow, sparkle and warm the amber-tipped drops at the base. The Ambrelise Brass Cherub K-9 Crystal Wall Sconce brings French Rococo romance to bedrooms, powder rooms and hallways.

The details

Cast in brass, strung in crystal.

From the cherub's curls to the last amber drop, every part of Ambrelise is made to be looked at up close.

In pairs

Two cherubs, one perfect frame.

Because Ambrelise comes in mirror-image Left and Right versions, a pair frames a doorway, a bed or a mirror with true symmetry.

Order one of each

  • Left on the left, Right on the right, and the crystals hang outward like a matched set.
  • Beside a bed, center each one over its nightstand.
  • At a vanity, keep them about 36–40" apart, level with your face.

Bedside

Center 56 in from the floor

Center the round backplate about 56" (142 cm) from the floor, right over the nightstand. The crystals end about 18.5" above a 26" nightstand: low enough to read by, high enough to stay clear of a clock or book.

  • Floor to backplate center56" / 142 cm
  • Floor to bottom of crystals44.5" / 113 cm
  • Above a 26" nightstand18.5" / 47 cm

Left side, Left versionUse the Left on the left of the bed and the Right on the right, so the crystals hang outward.

Vanity

Center 64 in from the floor

At a vanity, hang a pair either side of the mirror with the backplates about 64" (163 cm) from the floor. That puts the glow near face height for even, flattering light.

  • Floor to backplate center64" / 163 cm
  • Between backplatesabout 38" / 96 cm
  • Floor to bottom of crystals52.8" / 134 cm

Wider mirror?Keep each sconce 3–6" outside the frame and keep both at the same height.

Hallway

Center 66 in from the floor

Ambrelise reaches 11.0" (28 cm) from the wall. In a 42" hallway that leaves about 31" of clear space beside it, so people pass easily below the 5'9" line.

  • Floor to backplate center66" / 168 cm
  • Reach from the wall11.0" / 28 cm
  • Clear width in a 42" hall31.1" / 79 cm

Narrow hall?In halls narrower than 42", choose a spot beside a doorway or on an end wall, where the reach is out of the way.

Light & shadow

It draws on the wall, too.

Switched on, the crystals throw a soft lace of light and shadow across the wall around the cherub.

  • Warm sparkleWith a 3000K bulb, each bead catches the light and the amber drops glow like honey.
  • Candle-softWith a 2700K bulb, the glass cup and crystals read warmer, ideal beside a bed.
  • Bulb shapeA small clear or frosted candelabra bulb hides neatly inside the crystal ring.

Questions

Before you choose Ambrelise.

Planning a pair, or not sure which version you need? Ask us before you order and we'll help you choose.

  • Max wattage25W
  • Voltage110–120V
  • InstallHardwired
  • Reach from wall11.0" / 28 cm
Are bulbs included? What bulb should I buy?

Bulbs are not included. Ambrelise takes one E12 candelabra bulb, 25W max. We recommend a small 3000K warm white LED candelabra bulb, or 2700K for a bedroom. The color temperature you see comes from the bulb you choose.

What is the difference between Left and Right?

They are mirror images. On the Right version the cherub reaches to the right and the crystals hang to the right of the backplate; on the Left version they hang to the left. For a symmetrical pair, order one of each.

How high should I hang it?

Beside a bed, center the round backplate about 56" (142 cm) from the floor, over the nightstand. At a vanity or in a hallway, 64–66" (163–168 cm) to center is typical. Measure from the finished floor to the center of the backplate.

How far does it stick out from the wall?

It reaches 11.0" (28 cm) from the wall to the far edge of the crystals. In a hallway we suggest a width of at least 42", which leaves about 31" of clear space beside it.

How is it installed?

Ambrelise is hardwired to a wall junction box behind its 6.3" (16 cm) round brass backplate and runs on 110–120V household power. We recommend having a licensed electrician install it.

How do I clean the brass and crystal?

Switch off and let the bulb cool. Dust the brass with a soft, dry cloth and skip abrasive polishes. Wipe the K-9 crystal beads and drops with a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth, not onto the fixture.

Four hands-on stages

From a bar of raw brass to the frame of your lamp, each stage is done by a person at a machine or a bench.

Brass

Mostly copper, strengthened with zinc. That simple mix gives brass its warm golden color, its weight and its strength, and it is the metal we build our lamp bodies from.

You feel it the moment you lift it

Brass is one of the densest metals used in lighting. That weight is why a brass lamp hangs steady and feels solid in your hands.

Both can look golden on day one. Drag to see what sits under the surface.

Gold all the way through

Scratch solid brass and you find more brass. Scratch plating and grey metal shows.

No rust underneath

Brass does not rust. Plated iron rusts once the coating wears thin.

Detail that stays sharp

Machined brass keeps crisp lines; cast alloys tend to look soft.
