Thomas Obrien walks a fine line between contemporary and old fashioned (and does a damn good job of it). Visiting his shop, Aero, on Broome street a few months ago we mentally bookmarked these sconces. We liked how thin and wispy they were and felt they created a surprising silhouette...
We can see them in a wide range of environments, from traditional to modern eclectic. Manufactured by Visual Comfort, they come in two sizes and can be found at Aero, Eboniste and Neenas.

Check out Croft and Little lighting. It's from the people at Y Lighting. They carry T O'Brien's lovely lights and others of that same "look" and caliber.
Eboniste(.com) also carries this line, and I'm sure AT regular Scott from Ebonsite would appreciate the business from his fellow ATers.
I sent 4 emails to Eboniste and called them twice to place an order and I never heard back from them. I took them off my favorites and will never try them again. I placed the order with Lighting NY instead. http://lightingnewyork.com/
They have amazing customer service.
I have nothing good to say about Eboniste.
