The Rainer Faceted Crystal Bar Sconce runs a single faceted crystal column down a slim metal backplate — and does not sit it flat against the wall. The glass stands proud of the plate, offset so light leaves the column on every side, including the side facing the wall.

Design & Materials
That gap is the design. A conventional bar sconce presses its diffuser to a plate and sends light forward; there is nothing behind it and the wall stays dark. Here the light escapes down the space between glass and metal and washes the wall on both sides of the fixture — so what you see is a bright vertical line with a soft field of light around it, rather than a lit object on a blank surface. The column is faceted rather than round. Cut planes run the full length of the glass, so light travelling through it is turned at every face and the bar reads as a line of small bright breaks rather than one continuous tube.
Materials, sizes and finishes are listed exactly as they are — and photographed close enough that you can count the facets rather than take our word for them.

Good to Know
Do I need one or a pair?
At a mirror, always a pair. One sconce lights half a face and leaves the other half in shadow. Space them 36–40″ (90–100 cm) apart with both centres at the same height, and set them to sit just outside the edges of the glass.Beside a bed, a pair unless only one side is used. In a hallway, one every 8–10 ft. A single works well in an alcove, above a console, or at the end of a hall.
Is it real crystal?
Yes — the bar is solid cut crystal, not an acrylic tube with facet lines on it. Two things tell you, and both are easy to check: it is cool to the touch and heavy for its size, and the facets still catch daylight with the fixture switched off. A pressed or printed facet does neither — it feels warm and light, and it looks like a grey tube until you turn it on.
What do the facets actually do?
A round rod gives one unbroken line of light — calm, and a little dull. Cut planes run the full length of this bar, so light is turned at every face and the line breaks into a series of small bright highlights instead. Walk past it and those highlights travel with you. It is a fixture that never moves, doing something that never quite settles.
Which finish should I choose?
Gold warms the crystal and suits oak, cream and plaster rooms. Black gives the sharpest contrast — the bar reads as a bright line against a dark stroke, and it is the strongest choice on a pale wall. Nickel keeps metal and crystal equally cool and quiet, and comes closest to disappearing. All three are available in all six sizes.
Which size, and will it fit a narrow hallway?
Width first. The narrow bar reads as a line and settles into a room; the wide one reads as a block and holds a wall on its own. Then height: the shortest is the mirror size, the middle suits most rooms, and the tallest is a statement that needs a plain wall to itself.For a corridor, the number that matters is the [__]″ projection from the wall, not the width of the fixture. In a corridor under 36″ (90 cm) wide, keep to one wall and choose the narrow bar.
