Candle Wall Sconces

Illuminate Your Spaces with Vintage Candle Wall Sconces

Lend your living room or dining room enviable milieu with vintage candle wall sconces. Few things top the ambiance of candlelight, especially when hosting. For those times when tabletop candle holders alone aren’t bringing the heat (so to speak), consider antique candle wall sconces. Encompassing a wide range of styles—though admittedly, most date to pre-electrical styles—the perfect set of antique candle sconces can be sourced for virtually every home. For a classic iteration, try a pair of giltwood candle wall sconces with Baroque or Rococo detailing and drop crystals. These classic wall sconce candle holders can be used on either side of a fireplace in a living room or a buffet in a dining room. If you’re hesitant to bookend art with a pair of sconces, for fear of clashing, try placing a mirror between your vintage candle wall sconces. Match your mirror’s finish to your candle wall sconces to minimize the risk of discordance even further. Antique candle wall decor can also be worked into a more elaborate gallery wall. Try pairing them with a series of wall plates in a dining room or living room to up their visual impact. Looking for a less showy set of sconces? Try a pair of brass candle sconces from the 20th century. Brass wall candle holders can be procured in a number of styles, but generally, they’re less elaborate than giltwood holders. For a Regency-style interior, try a hammered brass sconce featuring motifs like scrolling leaves or palm fronds. Other common wall sconce figural motifs include wheat sheafs, pineapples, tassels, and ribbon swags.
