Marlow Wall Sconce (9W6QU)

In Corning, NY, the Brilliant Cut Glass phenomenon flourished from the late 19th century to the ‘20s. Marlow’s shades of hand-cut, latticed glass tip a hat to this authentic American art-form. At the same time it alludes to history, Marlow’s fabric-wrapped cords and minimalist socket holders manage to make it feel contemporary. As pendant, alone or in staggered clusters, it’s worthy of lingering admiration; as a wall sconce, it hangs with a half-vaulted suspension, calling to mind the architecture of a bridge.
