Santa Rosa Sconce

Greene & Greene Inspired Wall Sconce — Blacker House

The Santa Rosa wall sconce is inspired by the original lighting designed by Charles and Henry Greene for the 1907 Blacker House library in Pasadena — one of their most celebrated commissions and a defining example of the Greene & Greene aesthetic at its most refined. The form is a square lantern: four vertical amber glass panels set in a mahogany frame, topped by a projecting roof that gives the fixture a strong horizontal cap and anchors it visually to the wall. The upper portion of each glass panel features a stylized lead motif that adds ornamental detail in keeping with the organic naturalism central to Greene & Greene's design philosophy.

The wall bracket is built from African mahogany with square Gaboon ebony peg details at the joinery — the hallmark of Greene & Greene's insistence on visible, honest construction. The amber glass panels glow warmly when lit, casting a soft, diffused light well suited to a hallway, dining room, staircase, or flanking an entryway. Available in two sizes to suit most any space. Single socket rated for up to 75 watts.

Made entirely to order. Custom glass colors available upon request.
