Pleating turns the shade into something closer to a flower than a cone, with deep scallops radiating out from a curved metal arm. That shape is the whole appeal of the Blithe 1 Light Wall Sconce, soft and a little romantic, yet quiet enough to hang in a pair over a bed without crowding the wall. Light filters through the folds and spills down instead of glaring outward. It dims on a compatible dimmer, hardwires directly to the wall, and arrives ready to mount with no assembly to work through first.
