Wrought Iron Wall Lights from Nigel Tyas Ironwork
Nigel Tyas Ironwork produces a wide range of wrought iron wall lights in classic and contemporary designs.
Each of our unique wall light designs features its own distinctive detail. This may be the simple chamfered edges on the handforged backplate of the Winscar wall light, or the elegant wrought iron taper with its tiny forged ball at the tip, which distinguishes the Thurlstone wall light.
Many of our wall light designs come in large or small sizes, and in single, double, and sometimes triple, configurations. You can choose to have your wall light in a natural black or light burnished steel finish, and where candles are part of your chosen wall light design, you can opt for ivory candles tubes or coloured tubes to match your light’s finish.
Our wrought iron wall light range also includes picture lights and wrought iron spotlights.
Bulbs and shades are sold separately to all our wall lights, unless otherwise stated.
If you have any queries at all about our wrought iron wall lights, we are here to help. Please feel free to contact us on 01226 766618 or email sales@nigeltyas.co.uk and we will be pleased to talk to you.
