More information on this sconce
A Bulldog Wall Sconce That Holds Three Lights
The Gatekeeper is a bulldog wall sconce built as a sculpted head mounted flat to the wall, gripping three bulbs where you would expect a single shade. The fixture is the animal, and the light comes out of the front of it rather than through a diffuser. It stands 15.7 inches tall and is sold in black or white, both carrying the same three-light configuration. The rest of the breed range is in Pet Lighting.
Hardwired to Your Wall Box
The Gatekeeper is hardwired and AC powered: it connects straight to house wiring at a wall box, with no cord to run. The wall you choose needs a junction box behind it, so confirm that before you hang the sconce. Plug-in pieces live in Lighting & Lamps.
Three Lights on a Standard Wall Switch
Three separate light positions run across the front of the head, and the fixture is non-dimmable, so wire it to a standard wall switch. It runs at full brightness, ready for a hallway, a dining space or a statement wall. The free-standing alternative is Winston.
Black Or White, Same Three Lights
White shows the sculpting more sharply under warm bulbs. Black recedes into a dark wall until it is switched on, which is the more theatrical of the two. Same fixture, same three lights, either way.
For a sculpted dog that sits on furniture, see Duke.
Where It Earns Its Place
Hallways, stairwells and the wall above a dining sideboard, anywhere the light has to come off the wall because there is no surface to put it on. Mount it at eye level or a little above, where the sculpted head reads best from the front. Because it is hardwired, treat placement as a decision rather than an experiment. See it beside the rest of Cove Companions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do wall sconces have to be hardwired, or can they plug in?
Both types exist, and this one is hardwired. The Gatekeeper runs on AC power through house wiring, with no cord and no plug, so it connects at a wall box rather than a socket. The wall you choose needs a junction box behind it. For a plug-in piece, browse our Lighting and Lamps collection.
Can I fit a light fitting myself?
Yes, if there is already a live junction box on that wall and you are confident working on house wiring at the mains. Otherwise, book a qualified electrician for the install. As a hardwired fixture, it connects at the wall box, so confirm the box is in place before the sconce arrives.
How big is this bulldog wall sconce?
It stands 15.7 inches tall and mounts flat against the wall. It is a head-and-shoulders sculpture rather than a small wall lamp, with three light positions running across the front of the head, so the dog itself is the fixture.
Does it come in black or white?
Black and white, chosen at checkout. White reads sharper against a dark wall and shows the sculpted detail more clearly under warm bulbs. Black disappears into a dark hallway until the lights come on, which is the more dramatic of the two. Same fixture and same three lights either way.
How many bulbs does it take, and is it dimmable?
Three bulbs, one for each light position across the front of the head, and the fixture is non-dimmable. Wire it to a standard wall switch rather than a dimmer plate, and it runs at full brightness each time you switch it on.
Where should I hang this bulldog wall sconce?
Hang it in a hallway, a stairwell or on the wall above a sideboard, at eye level or a little above. The sculpted head reads from the front, so give it a clear run of wall roughly the height of a large picture frame and an open sightline.
