Wine Barrel Wall Sconce - Carapace - Made from retired California wine barrel rings. 100% Recycled!

$294.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Handcrafted from locally sourced Napa wine barrel rings in the heart of California wine country, our exquisite lighting collection will showcase your home or business with a rustic elegance unique to California wine culture. Available in a wide variety of designs and customizable options, our extensive collection is sure to be the most functional piece of art you own!

The "Carapace" is a sconce light with an industrial flavor. The recycled wine barrel rings are hand bent and welded to create a loft-like design that forces the light down (or up, it can be mounted either way). Hang it alone or in a group at varying heights for maximum impact.

Modern and chic yet wonderfully rustic. Completely made from recycled materials and stylishly sexy. Each one is handmade to order.

I designed this for wine caves and cellars as the lights are constantly being hit by the forklifts and barrels. This is so strong we parked the forklift on top of it!

We bend the retired Napa wine barrel rings by hand (you should see our forearms!) and carefully weld it to a piece of recycled steel to make a layered effect that lets tons of light through and makes a design statement. Its rugged simplicity looks great with the bulb on or off.

The back plate is 100% recycled steel and has a metal UL plate on the back for the electrical box connection and small front screws for attachment giving the effect that it's floating on the wall -- truly delightful! Can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
