Visual Comfort Claret Tail Sconce

The Visual Comfort Claret Tail Sconce, designed by Aerin Lauder, is an ornamental wall light from the Claret range. It pairs a modern white drum fabric shade with an elongated decorative tail of clear faceted crystals, intended for interior wall mounting where a period, heirloom character is desired.

The design contrasts a geometric shade with a descending crystal tail that tapers into almond and teardrop drops. It is offered in Burnished Silver Leaf and Gild finishes and is supplied in two variants to suit different schemes.

Construction combines a white fabric drum shade, clear faceted crystal elements and a sculpted metal frame with polished silver‑toned accents. The crystal clusters include floral motif arrangements and are mounted to a metal structure that supports the tail's descending composition.

The light source sits within the drum shade to diffuse illumination and reduce glare, while the positioning allows light to fall onto the crystal work, producing a shimmering, refractive effect that enhances ambient atmosphere. This sconce is intended primarily as diffused ambient and decorative lighting rather than a task light.

The fitting is designed for vertical hardwired installation on an interior wall and carries an IP20 rating for indoor use. Specifics such as lamps, driver or transformer inclusion are not stated in the technical data; confirm lamp type and dimming compatibility at point of order. The manufacturer provides a one‑year warranty.
