Quick answer
Choose the Haywood Double Sconce if you want soft, matte opal glass and a lower-profile look for a bathroom or hallway. Choose the Raleigh Double Sconce if you prefer frosted glass with a longer metal arm and a more sculptural silhouette, and you want to save roughly $110 at the listed catalog price.
Glass and silhouette set the mood
The Haywood uses two matte opal glass shades on a wooden backplate, which diffuses light into a soft glow and keeps the fixture visually quiet against the wall. The Raleigh pairs frosted glass with an original wooden backplate and a substantial metal arm, giving it a taller, more statuesque profile. If your room already has strong architectural details, the Haywood recedes; the Raleigh holds its own as a focal point.
Price and lead time are the practical trade-offs
At the listed catalog prices, the Raleigh is the lower-cost option, while the Haywood sits about $110 higher. Both share a 2–3 week lead time, so price is the main budget lever rather than delivery speed. Neither fixture includes bulbs, and both use two E26 sockets rated for 60W, so plan for bulb cost on either side of the comparison.
Where each one earns its place
Both sconces are UL and cUL listed for damp locations, so either can go in a bathroom with confidence. The deciding factor is how much visual weight you want on the wall: the Raleigh's metal arm and taller proportions suit a vanity where the fixture is meant to be seen, while the Haywood's matte opal shades and simpler backplate work better in a powder room or hallway where you want light without a strong shape.
Trade-offs to weigh before you buy
- Price vs. glass finish: The Raleigh is listed lower than the Haywood, but it uses frosted glass rather than matte opal. If you want the softest possible glow, the Haywood's matte opal shades justify the higher price; if budget leads, the Raleigh still diffuses light well. Decide whether matte opal is worth the price difference before comparing finishes.
- Visual weight on the wall: The Raleigh's substantial metal arm and taller proportions make it a stronger focal point. The Haywood's simpler backplate and matte shades blend in. In a small powder room, the Haywood is less likely to overwhelm; over a double vanity, the Raleigh can anchor the space.
- Bulbs and installation: Neither sconce includes bulbs, and both take two E26 bulbs at 60W maximum. Budget for four bulbs if you are buying two fixtures, and confirm your wall box placement before ordering, since both share a 2–3 week lead time. Order bulbs at the same time so installation isn't delayed.
