Boathouse Glass Wall Light

Perfect for that modern vintage style, this Boathouse Glass Wall Light has a protective glass shade to house its light bulb and sits on a black gooseneck wall sconce. Porcelain enamel has been applied to its classic steel shade, resulting in a smooth, glossy black outer finish and contrasting white inner. The application of porcelain enamel is a complicated process involving many different and very technical steps. Our porcelain enamel shades use the same age old methods to produce shades that mirror the factory shades of yesteryear.  Porcelain enamel has been widely used in industry since the Industrial Revolution. It was popular not only for its attractive appearance but also for its resistance to corrosion and weathering. It fits well above a reading nook, porch entrance way or bathroom wall. Its timeless appeal will give your space an undeniably vintage touch.

• Mix of robust design, traditional techniques and classic style 
• IP44 rating, so perfect for outdoor and bathroom usage
• Porcelain enamel glossy black outer with contrasting white inner
• Satin black gooseneck wall arm and sconce 
• Mix of robust design, traditional techniques and vintage style

About the Boathouse Glass Wall Light:

• Robust, quality steel shade. Not lightweight aluminium like many modern day copies.
• Satin black gooseneck wall arm and sconce 
• The wall mount plate is 130mm in diameter and 65mm high. 
• The projection from the wall to the centre of the shade is 350mm.
• Porcelain enamel has been applied to its classic shade, resulting in a smooth, glossy black outer finish and contrasting white inner. Measures 300mm in diameter and 70mm high.
• Our porcelain enamel shades use these same age old methods to produce shades that mirror the factory shades of yesteryear. By the nature of the complex process, shades may have varying degrees of minor surface imperfections such as chips, cracks and textural variations. These types of imperfections are exactly the same as those imperfections you might find in much loved vintage shades that used exactly the same method of enameling. They add to the shades character and appeal and are not considered defects.
• Protective glass shade houses the light bulb. It measures 130mm in diameter and 200mm high. 
• The glass shades are hand blown glass. Bubbles, lines, slight surface imperfections or discolourations are characteristics of all hand blown and hand crafted glass. They are not considered flaws or defects.
• The application of porcelain enamel is a complicated process involving many different and very technical steps. Firstly a thin layer of glass/ceramic is applied to the steel shade. It is a complex mixture of many materials which is best described simply as “powdered glass”. Before application, the powder is encapsulated in a chemical compound that allows it to hold an electrical charge during application. An electrostatic gun then fires the dry powder onto the electrically earthed steel shade; electrical forces bind the charged powder to the shade and it adheres. The shades are then passed through a furnace to experience long periods of stable high temperatures. This converts the adhering powder into a continuous glass layer. It is a complex process with many variables. This is the main reason why it is not widely used today as manufacturers prefer to use much simpler finishing methods using paint. 
• The lampholder is equipped with a screw in E27 lamp holder, max 60W.
• This outdoor light is suitable for indoor use as well.
  

Please Note: this listing is for the Boasthouse Glass Wall Light only. The light bulbs shown in the pictures are for illustration purposes only. 

This interior wall light takes a screw in (E27) light bulb. We recommend our vintage style Quad Loop Round Bulb for a less protruding look or our Teardrop Spiral LED Filament Bulb for that finishing touch.
