Sconce

A wall sconce is a light fixture mounted to the wall, providing both illumination and decorative appeal. Sconces free up floor and table space while adding lighting layers that overhead fixtures alone cannot achieve. They create ambiance, highlight architectural features, and flank focal points with balanced light. Throughout history, sconces have evolved from candle holders to gas fixtures to electric lights, but their purpose remains constant: bringing light to eye level. This mid-height illumination fills the visual gap between overhead lighting and table lamps, creating depth and warmth in well-designed rooms.
