Wall Light - Seated Flame (Floral)
Ref: L-WL-025-HSF
The Flame Wall Light is a wall-mounted reinterpretation of the iconic Yahya flame form, transforming one of the collection’s most recognisable sculptural silhouettes into an atmospheric architectural lighting piece. Suspended from a refined concealed support structure emerging from an elegant wall-mounted backplate, the sculptural flame form is entirely hand-sawn by master jewellers using Yahya’s signature intricate floral patterns, creating a luminous openwork surface animated by light and shadow.
Concealed integrated lighting hidden within the supporting base softly illuminates the floral flame from below, projecting delicate atmospheric patterns and reflections across the surrounding wall while leaving the source of illumination itself entirely unseen. Elegant, sculptural, and highly atmospheric, the Flame Wall Light remains a timeless expression of handcrafted metalwork, sculptural light, and refined contemporary decorative design.

The Flame Wall Light is illuminated using ultra high-quality integrated COB (Chip-on-Board) LED systems specifically selected and engineered to produce the exceptional precision and atmospheric clarity characteristic of the Yahya collection. Unlike conventional E14, E27, or standard multi-source LED bulbs, which create diffuse and imprecise lighting effects, the COB LEDs used within these pieces function as highly concentrated and controlled singular light sources. This allows the intricate hand-sawn floral metalwork forming the sculptural flame silhouette to project remarkably sharp and refined atmospheric patterns across surrounding wall surfaces. The exceptional precision and depth of these luminous projections are only achievable through the use of these specialised integrated lighting systems combined with Yahya’s handcrafted metalwork techniques.
The Flame Wall Light incorporates a concealed integrated uplight positioned discreetly within the projecting structural metal box supporting the sculptural flame form. The source of illumination itself always remains entirely hidden, allowing the hand-sawn floral flame to appear animated purely through light and shadow. Light travels upward internally through the sculptural flame body, projecting intricate atmospheric patterns and reflections across surrounding architectural surfaces while preserving the purity and elegance of the overall composition. The integrated LED modules are accessible through the removable hand-sawn flame section, allowing a qualified electrician to service or replace the integrated LED plates should maintenance ever be required. The driver systems are generally housed within the wall-mounted backplate to ensure straightforward accessibility and long-term maintenance. In most cases, should servicing become necessary after many years of use, the driver itself is typically the component requiring replacement rather than the LED modules, which are supplied with long-life manufacturer guarantees of approximately five years under normal operating conditions.
The Flame Wall Light can be electrified according to UK, European, or US electrical standards and may be supplied with compatible drivers and electrical configurations accordingly. Dimmable systems can equally be integrated upon request, including compatibility with protocols such as DALI, DMX, 1–10V, and other project-specific lighting control systems specified by clients or lighting consultants. Colour temperature is carefully selected according to the finish of the piece itself in order to preserve the intended atmosphere and materiality. Brass and aged bronze finishes are generally supplied at 2700K to create a warm candlelight-like glow, while polished nickel silver finishes are typically supplied at 3000K for a slightly crisper architectural illumination. Throughout the collection, the lighting philosophy remains consistent: the source of illumination is never directly visible, and the light itself becomes an atmospheric sculptural material revealing the craftsmanship, depth, and projection work of each piece.
Our brass pieces are hand-finished and aged to a rich bronze patination, then protected using a strong satin interior varnish designed to preserve the finish while maintaining the natural depth and warmth of the metal. For regular care, pieces should simply be dusted using a soft dry cloth without water or abrasive cleaning products. Over time, as with all living materials, the finish may naturally deepen and evolve in tone, developing an increasingly antique character that forms part of the beauty of aged bronze and brass.
Exterior pieces are protected using specialist UV-resistant varnishes developed for outdoor bronze sculptures and artworks. While these finishes offer substantial long-term protection, natural weathering and gradual patination remain an inherent characteristic of the material over extended periods. Should the varnish eventually soften or wear after many years, surfaces may be gently waxed and buffed in the traditional manner used for fine leather or bronze objects.
Polished nickel silver is not an electroplated finish but a solid material that may naturally soften slightly over time through handling and exposure. As with traditional silver objects, the surface can be restored using standard silver polishes widely available in hardware stores, or through traditional methods such as gentle lemon-based cleaning. Microfibre cloths are recommended for routine care, while abrasive materials and scratching should be avoided. Due to the entirely handmade nature of the work, subtle artisanal irregularities, variations, and traces of hand craftsmanship form an intentional part of the character and authenticity of each piece.
