One of our most popular wall lights, the Double Classic is an elegant, low slung fitting that combines the best old fashioned styling with a contemporary design to suit any type of home. It features two slender shade arms holding generously proportioned drip trays that emerge from a simple curved back strap, giving it a modern vintage appearance that would look lovely in a contemporary setting and would update a more traditional one.
Fit it on its own or as a pair to bring ambient light to a kitchen, dining room or bedroom, or in a row to bring much needed light to a narrow hallway, landing or stairwell. Shown above in our traditional beeswax finish, this wall light is made from high quality steel that has been dipped in hot beeswax to give it a subtle, aged appearance that will not date.

FINISH
Beeswax: A traditional metalworking technique used since Tudor times. The metal is heated until it darkens and then dipped in natural beeswax which gives is a lovely soft black wrought iron effect which looks fabulous in any traditional or contemporary interior. As beeswax is a natural finish that reacts with the underlying metal during the forging process, it often has a subtle, slightly mottled patina with undertones of deep grey or ochre. It is not waterproof, so will need to be rewaxed occasionally.
