The fittings for the Frederick Robie House stand within the most elegant expression of Wright's Prairie House. These substantial brass sconces, utilized throughout the public spaces of the house, continue the globe vocabulary introduced in the living room fixtures, here modified to a half-sphere.

In contrast to the architecturally integrated fixtures in the living room, these sconces stand out as ornament to their surroundings. Wright carefully positioned the light source within the fixture to produce delicate shadows. The geometric perforations of the top plate cast crisp patterns upon the ceiling. Sconces of this design also were used in several other Wright houses of this period (1906-1909).

UL approved, one 40W incandescent (frosted) bulb. Shade is inside frosted clear glass, body is antique-finished brass.
