The most minimal of our modern wall lights, the Thorpe is a neat wall fitting that is designed to show off our beautiful half shades so you can achieve a sleek contemporary look with only the shade visible. Cleverly made so that the bulb fitting is hidden behind the shade, the Thorpe creates a flush fitting wall light that is ideal for updating a room and bringing those all-important layers of light to a scheme.
The bracket can be used with either our cylindrical
Carlyle Half Shades, or our rectangular
Hanbury Half Shades, to give a completely different shape that fabulous lighting up a bedroom, hallway or dining space where they help to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere. This Thorpe is hand crafted from high grade forged iron that is traditionally beeswaxed for a soft black finish. All
Jim Lawrence lights are made using traditional metal working techniques and are hand finished to the very highest standards here at our Suffolk workshop.

Beeswax: A traditional 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.
