Phansthy Wall Sconce with Rattan Shade

The hand-woven natural rattan shade gives this Phansthy wall sconce a more textured look than a plain metal fixture, while softening the light for evening use. Its antique gold finish and two-light design suit bedrooms, living rooms and corridors where the fixture can work as both a decorative accent and supplementary lighting. The shade’s light transmission is described as average, so this is better approached as a bedside or ambient light than as the main source for a whole room. If you prioritize a woven, natural-material look, it has a clear point of difference, if you prefer strong, direct illumination, a fixture with a more open shade may be a better fit.

Getting the most from it

This is a hardwired wall light, so it makes most sense where you already want a fixed fixture rather than a lamp you can move around. The maker recommends it for bedrooms and corridors as a night light or auxiliary light, and gives a suggested room size of 10–15 m². In practice, it could sit beside a bed for a softer end-of-day glow, or along a corridor to add light and visual interest without relying on an overhead fixture. Its two-light layout is part of the design, but the shade’s average light transmission is worth bearing in mind if you need brighter task lighting.

The standard E26 base accepts compact fluorescent, LED, halogen and incandescent bulbs, with a maximum wattage of 40 W. Bulbs are not included. Dimming is possible only with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, which is also excluded, the fixture alone does not provide dimming. That gives you some choice over the light source, but you’ll need to select the bulb and any dimmer separately.

Why it’s worth it

The appeal here is the combination of a hand-woven natural rattan shade with steel and aluminum construction and an antique brass-style finish. It brings more material texture to a wall than a simple metal sconce, without requiring a freestanding lamp or table space. The product description says the finish resists rust, fading and corrosion and presents the light as suitable for wet spaces. However, it provides no specific wet-location rating, so without that detail, avoid assuming it is appropriate for every bathroom installation.

A 12-month warranty is stated for defects in workmanship and materials. The seller also says a replacement can be requested for a damaged shade or missing accessories on arrival. Those provisions are useful to know with a woven shade, though they do not change the fixture’s role as supplementary rather than high-output lighting.

The essentials

• Hardwired wall sconce with a natural rattan woven shade
• Antique gold finish, steel and aluminum construction
• Two-light design with standard E26 sockets
• Maximum bulb wattage: 40 W
• Bulbs and dimmer switch are not included
• Dimmable with compatible dimmable bulbs and a compatible switch

You’ll find it suits you if you want a decorative wall light for a bedroom, living room or corridor and are comfortable choosing the bulbs separately. It’s not for you if you need a portable light, a complete bulb-and-dimmer setup, or strong primary illumination from the shade alone.

When to choose it

Choose this sconce for the woven texture and antique gold look when the aim is to add a warm visual accent and a modest layer of light. It makes more sense than a basic, plain-shade wall fixture when natural materials are part of the room’s style, a more task-focused fixture is the safer direction for reading, detailed work or lighting a space on its own.
