Knockoff version of this little, very expensive sconce?
November 4, 2022 5:55 AM Subscribe
Are you aware of a cheaper version of this small but very expensive sconce?
My wife and I need two sconces to fit in a narrow space (a little less than 7 inches wide) in our kitchen. This one here is nice as hell! But holy shit two of them is going to run us $800. Is there a cheaper version?
Things we like:
- overall design
- hardwired
- size (under 5" wide in total)
Things we don't like:
- $800!!!!
If you've got a line on something similar-ish that's cheaper, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

In addition, I found nearly identical sconces to yours fir $475, $700, and $1000+ each, so those might make you feel better about paying for the one you like if you're open to that solution.

Best answer: I have never ordered from Aliexpress, but here's a knockoff: link
$52 + $88 shipping to US

I have a variety of sconces and a ceiling light from One Forty Three. There's not an exact look-alike of the one you linked, but they're very mod, come in enamel colors, are pleasantly priced, and have been solid fixtures for a decade+ in my place.

Best answer: Was going to search AliExpress but bluecore beat me to it. I have bought 3 or 4 hip light fixtures from Ali and had a good experience each time.
I would suggest on Ali looking at the similar items at the bottom of the page and comparing the prices/shipping. Here's the same lamp for $55 with free shipping.

OH, if they come with light bulbs, do make sure the light bulbs' voltage is rated for your location.

It seems very likely to me that the Aliexpress version linked above by bluecore is not just a 'knockoff' but actually the exact same product as the branded one.

Notice that they have cords hanging below them so you'll need to alter them to hardwire.

Please make sure you understand how to properly wire it, so you don't start a fire. It's not rocket science, you can DIY, just read up on it a little.
