Nico 5 is a contemporary sconce with a softly radiused housing and sparkling textured shades. The tapered drum comes in Clear Stone, a clear blown glass with a coarse sandstone texture on the outside, and in Glitter Stone, which adds a crystal coating. Besa lists Bronze, Chrome and Satin Nickel; Chrome and Black rows are the ones in our feed, and only Chrome is in stock right now.

Best for

Bathrooms, powder rooms, bedrooms and hallways. The Nico 5 suits powder rooms, bedsides, entries and hallways where a textured drum should catch the light.

Who this is not for

• Outdoor walls and open patios: Besa rates the Nico 5 for damp locations, interior use only.
• Anyone who needs every glass identical: handcrafted glass varies slightly from shade to shade.
• Anyone who wants a bulb included: the standard version takes a lamp that you supply, and the LED version includes its own source.
• Anyone who wants a Bronze or Satin Nickel finish right now: only Chrome is in stock; Black is sold out.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the Nico 5 wall sconce is a small way to bring handcrafted Besa glass into a bath or hall: a stone-textured drum with a crystal-coated option on a slim fixture. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are hand-blown by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then hand-inspected at Besa’s factory in Ohio for color, pattern, thickness and size before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

With the power off and the glass cool, wipe it with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture), and dust the metal parts with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). Lamps are replaceable, and installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.

Which bulbs does the Nico 5 take?

Is the Nico 5 wall sconce safe for a bathroom?

Besa rates it for damp locations, interior use only. That covers a steamy bath or powder room, but not an exposed outdoor wall.

How does the Nico 5 mount?

It installs directly to a 4" octagonal outlet box, wall mount only, and the shade can be oriented upward or downward.

Should I order one Nico 5 sconce or a pair?

A pair, one on each side of a mirror or bed, gives even light. A single works for a narrow wall or a hall.
