Wall sconces serve two main purposes: to illuminate and to save space. They owe their existence to the pre-modern age when fixtures like these were used to hold candles and torches. And although they’ve now become wildly popular in their hardwired state, candle wall sconces can bring warmth to almost any room in a way that's different from the lighting effect created with electric lights. Hanging candle wall sconces with pictures is a great decorating accent because they can easily fit into narrow and out-of-the-way places and provide an attractive glow of light.

Tall Glass Modern Candle Sconce
17 Stories
All this modern candle wall sconce needs is for you to drop in your favorite 2” wide flameless pillar candle. A keyhole bracket is hidden on the back side of the top metal bar. The sconce measures 7.75” wide by 23.75” high and weighs 5.5 lbs without the candle.
Designer Advice:
This candle wall sconce's long and linear shape gives it a modern touch. Combining metal, wood and glass, the straight lines of the black frame make an interesting counterpoint to the round glass candle cover. The blown glass may have some inherent natural imperfections as part of its design feature. This hurricane glass sleeve doesn’t have a bottom, so it can’t be used as a vase.

Silver Candle Wall Sconce
Etta Avenue™
This candle wall sconce is cast from silver-tone stainless steel and stands 22'' high and 8'' wide. It protrudes 6.75'' from the wall, so make sure not to place it where it may interfere with passing traffic. The clear cylindrical glass shade fits a three-inch candle (sold separately).
Designer Advice:
With all right angles and an open fretwork design, this modern wall sconce has a clean-lined look and a polished appeal. Place one of these on either side of your framed bathroom mirror to add more interest to the wall. Choose scented candles for an additional sensory experience as you light the candles and climb into a hot bath to ease away the day’s cares.

Mirrored Wall Sconces for Candles
Rosdorf Park
Modern and glamorous, this wall sconce is designed to hold a three-inch tall pillar candle. The sconce is 31” tall and weighs 10 lbs. It comes with two D-rings for hanging, and it is recommended you use both to distribute the weight of the sconce.
Designer Advice:
Add a punch of glam to any room with this mirrored wall sconce. Stacked beveled mirrored circles give this piece its distinctive look while hanging crystal accents add even more glitz. If that’s too much glitz for you, the crystals are detachable. The style and design of this candle sconce would also look on point in a bathroom and can even be hung with heavy-duty double-sided tape directly onto a mirrored wall above the vanity.
