We’ve all seen the movies where the wall sconces filled with flickering candles casting weird shadows over the wrought iron designs. Perhaps, however, you’ve not thought that you could own wall sconces made from wrought iron and fill them with your own candles.

What are the benefits of wrought iron wall sconces?

Wrought iron sconces have the advantage that iron is not flammable at candle-burning temperatures. Wall sconces hold the candles well away from combustible wall materials, and many of the fixtures come with globes or hurricane chimneys that not only help keep open flames away from combustibles but also protect the flame from drafts.

What are the different designs of wrought iron wall sconces?

Simple Votive Candle Sconces

No globes or chimneys for these little guys, but sturdy scrollwork that holds a wide metal plate. Many such designs include a sharp spike in the center of the plate to help keep the candle firmly in place. Not something you want to leave burning unattended, but a place to keep a candle or two for those nights when the power goes out. Easily locatable, these little candles can illuminate your efforts to find other lights.

Hanging Candle Lanterns

Created in different sizes, ranging from votives to fat, pillar candles, candle lanterns are often fashioned of beautifully shaped wrought iron that is combined with a column of glass to protect the flame. These could easily illuminate a medieval-style dinner, a romantic evening for two, or just hold back the night when weather or brownouts have cut the power.

Black Tuscan globe lamp

A variation on the theme of protected candles is the Black Tuscan globe lamp – which comes as a set of two. The delicately wrought iron holds the candle fixture well away from the wall, and it is protected in a creamy globe trimmed with Wall of Troy patterns. This is the kind of lamp you could envision Mrs. Darling leaving for Wendy and the other little Darlings. The only thing is, the wind would have a hard time blowing out this night light!

Palm Tree Lamps

Here’s a wrought iron design to tickle your funny bone. This humorous pair of lamps depicts two quirky palm trees supporting a pair of glass votive candle holders. Add this to your oceanfront theme, and you have a pair of lights that will allow you to find the Big Lantern and get it set up when the big storms blow in off the sea.

No matter what theme you choose, it is hard to go wrong with wall sconces made from wrought iron for candles. Whether you are preparing for a romantic dinner, a themed party, or an emergency, you can count on candles to behave reliably. Iron sconces help keep the candles firmly in place and minimize the chance of danger from tipping. Globes and chimneys help keep modern-day folk who might not be used to them from dragging an unwary sleeve or coattail through an open flame. With the right lamp, it is possible to even set up a night light for a little one who is disturbed by the dark.
