Vintage Glass Wall Sconce – Smoke Grey, Cognac or Frosted White
A wall sconce with a vintage-styled glass shade in Smoke Grey, Cognac or Frosted White. Cognac is the warmest of the three, a brown-amber that reads close to old glass. Smoke Grey is a cool neutral tint. Frosted White is the only one of the three that is opaque rather than transparent, and that difference matters more than the color does.
The distinction between tinted and frosted counts for more on a wall than it would on a ceiling, because a sconce sits at eye level. Through Smoke Grey and Cognac the light source stays visible as a bright point, which is part of the vintage look but becomes glare if the sconce is passed at close range. Frosting scatters light at the surface of the glass, so the shade glows evenly and nothing bright shows inside it.
It suits a hallway, a stairwell, a bedside wall or a bathroom. In a corridor where people pass within arm's reach, Frosted White is the comfortable choice; seen from across a room, the tinted versions have more character.

Tinted Against Frosted
Frosted White is the only one of the three that is opaque rather than transparent, and that difference matters more than the color does. It changes what you see when you look at the fixture, not merely what tone it carries.
Eye Level Changes Things
The distinction counts for more on a wall than on a ceiling, because a sconce sits at eye level. Through Smoke Grey and Cognac the source stays visible as a bright point, which is part of the vintage look but becomes glare at close range.
Character Or Comfort
In a corridor where people pass within arm's reach, Frosted White is the comfortable choice. Seen from across a room, the tinted versions have more character, and the visible source stops being a problem at that distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the three?
Cognac is a warm brown-amber close to old glass and Smoke Grey a cool neutral tint, both transparent. Frosted White is the only opaque one, and that distinction outweighs the difference in color.
Will I see the bulb through the glass?
Through Smoke Grey and Cognac, yes, and that visible bright point is part of the vintage look. Frosted White scatters light at the surface, so nothing bright shows inside the shade.
Which suits a narrow corridor?
Frosted White. Where people pass within arm's reach, a visible source at eye level turns into glare, and the frosted shade glows evenly instead of showing a point of brightness.
And seen from across a room?
The tinted versions have more character at that distance. Cognac in particular reads as old glass, and the visible source stops being uncomfortable once you are not walking straight past it.
Where can it go?
A hallway, a stairwell, a bedside wall or a bathroom. Glass handles a damp room without trouble, so the choice between the three comes down to viewing distance rather than the space itself.
