Candle Wall Sconces

In a candle sconce, a candle-shaped lamp holder and a slim bulb sit at the end of one or more arms. Single-arm designs suit narrow walls and hallways, while double and triple-arm designs suit the wall above a fireplace, beside a console or in a dining room. Because the bulb is exposed, the light is lively; if you want softer light, choose designs with small fabric shades.

Mount wall sconces about 150–165 cm above the floor, close to eye level. Used as a pair on either side of a mirror, painting or fireplace, they create a symmetrical, balanced look. In a hallway, leaving 150–250 cm between sconces gives even light. For measurements, see our hallway and staircase lighting guide.

Candle sconces bring a room together when used with candle chandeliers in the same style. Antique brass and bronze suit classic interiors, matt black suits modern ones. Filament-style 2700 K candle LED bulbs give the most natural result; dimmed, they create an effect close to candlelight. Our wall sconces are supplied without bulbs, and the finish can be changed on request.
