Visual Comfort Cymbal Large Wall Sconce | Peter Bristol | Concave Brass Disc | Bronze/Brass or Brass

The Cymbal Large Wall Sconce by Peter Bristol for Visual Comfort is an architectural brass sconce built around a single design principle: the concave disc. Bristol's Cymbal series treats the brass disc as a lens — its concave form catches ambient light and throws a focused, indirect glow against the wall surface above and below the fixture rather than projecting a beam outward. The result is wall lighting that reads as architectural texture rather than decorative fixture: the brass disc, the shadow it casts, and the light it distributes become a unified wall element. At the Large scale, this effect carries enough visual weight to anchor a significant wall plane.

Available in Dark Bronze/Natural Brass and Natural Brass only — both pairings of two tones that create the visual depth the concave disc design relies on. The LED source is fully concealed within the disc housing, making the disc itself the perceived source. Dimmable, 2700K. ETL listed. Five-year warranty. Free shipping at MetropolitanDecor.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Cymbal distribute light?
A: The concave disc acts as a reflector — the hidden LED source bounces light off the inner curved surface and distributes it as a soft, diffused ambient wash against the wall surface. There is no direct beam; the light reads as a warm glow emanating from around the disc rather than from a point source.

Q: What is the difference between the two finish combinations?
A: Dark Bronze/Natural Brass has a contrasting two-tone look — the outer body is bronze while the inner disc and accents are brass, creating more visual depth. Natural Brass/Natural Brass is monochromatic — the entire fixture is brass, reading as a single material object against the wall.

Q: Does the Cymbal coordinate with other Cymbal fixtures?
A: Yes — the Cymbal Large and X-Large Pendants share the same disc form and finish palette. Using a Cymbal sconce and Cymbal pendant in the same space creates a family composition with consistent material language.
