Finding the Right Wall Lights And Sconces for You
From the kitchen to the bedroom and everywhere in between, there is one major part of home decor that you definitely want to master: lighting. Carefully selected vintage sconces and wall lights can do wonders in establishing mood and highlighting your distinctive personality.
We’re a long way from the candelabra-inspired chandeliers of the medieval era. Lighting is no longer merely practical, and lighting designers have been creating and reinventing lighting solutions for eons. Because of the advancements crafted by these venturesome makers, we now have the opportunity to bring unique, customizable lighting solutions into our homes.
It’s never been easier to create dramatic bedrooms, cozy kitchen areas and cheerful bars than it is today. Think of an elegant wall sconce as functional and as a work of art, adding both light and style to your hallways, whimsical kids’ rooms and elsewhere.
When choosing a lighting solution, first determine what your needs are: Will you opt for a moody or a bright feel? The room that will serve as your home office will need adequate lighting — think “the brighter, the better” for this particular setting.
For the bedroom, bedside wall lamps with warm-temperature bulbs instead of bedside table lamps could be the way to go to induce a sense of calm or intimacy. Try to match the style of the wall light or sconce that you’re installing to the overall design scheme of your room. It’s never “just a light.” You should approach the lighting of a room with a mindset that is one part practical and one part aesthetics-driven.
Let 1stDibs help you set the mood with the right antique and vintage wall lights and sconces for your home. Our collection includes every kind of fixture, from sculptural works by Austrian craftsman J.T. Kalmar to chic industrial-style wall sconces, from adjustable painted aluminum wall lamps designed by Artemide to a wide variety of minimalist mid-century modern masterpieces.

Shop an assortment of candle holders on 1stDibs.
- Do chandeliers have candles?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No chandeliers do not have candles but the chandelier evolved from the candelabra, which used candles as their light source.

- What is a candle hurricane?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Hurricane lamps are designed to work in high winds because a glass chimney protects the flame. Hurricane candles use liquid paraffin rather than wax and can burn longer and with less odor and smoke. Shop a range of antique and modern hurricane lamps on 1stDibs.
- What is a candle shade?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A candle shade is a fixture or cover that is positioned over a candle's flame to protect it. It enhances the light from a candle while minimizing the glare. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary candle shades from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023How tall a candle holder should be depends on the size of the candle you’re using and the overall look of the room. Compared to a candle, a holder should be at least as tall. When choosing candle holders, choose ones that won’t obscure the view. For example, lower candlesticks and candelabras work best on dining tables because they allow you to see the person across from you. On 1stDibs, find a range of candle holders.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To burn a Fornasetti candle, first trim the wick to remove any soot. Then, light the candle and allow it to burn for up to three hours. Use a snuffer to extinguish the candle, as blowing out the flame can disturb the wax. Find a collection of Fornasetti on 1stDibs.
- Does Dior make candles?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Christian Dior has a scented candle line called La Collection Privée Christian Dior.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Hurricane candle holders are glass cylindrical domes which go around a candle to protect the flame from getting doused. These candle holders can also be attached to the wall as a hurricane shade.
- What is a candle snuffer called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Candle snuffers are sometimes called "extinguishers," “dousing cones" and "doubters." However, you will normally see them referred to simply as candle snuffers. You can find a selection of antique and vintage candle snuffers from top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The point of a candle snuffer is to extinguish candles more carefully. Using one to put out a flame is less likely to cause wax splatters and damage to the candle than blowing out the wick. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique candle snuffers.
- What are Dior candles made of?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Dior candles are made from a variety of materials, depending on the style and fragrance of the candle you choose. Some variations are made with wax, and others are made with paraffin. The gorgeous glass jars are decorated with ornate patterns and are designed to be just as pretty as the candle smells.

- What is a sconce fixture?1 Answer
- What is a plug in sconce?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Plug-in sconce is a light fixture that is attached to a wall but has an external cord that must be plugged directly into a wall outlet. It has a switch at the fixture. It is much easier and less expensive to install than hard-wired sconces, but the trade-off is that the cord hangs down and is visible. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage and modern plug-in sconces.
- Why is it called a sconce?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024A light that hangs on a wall is called a sconce due to its linguistic history. The term originated from the Old French term esconce, which means "lantern" or "hiding place." In turn, the word sconce has its roots in the Latin root word for "to hide," abscondere. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of sconces.
- Where do you hang sconces?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 20191stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021For hanging wall sconces, you should measure between 60”-70” from the floor. If you plan on installing multiple sconces traditionally they are spaced 6’ apart.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What glass candle holders are called depends on their design. Curvy clear glass shades used to cover pillar candles are hurricanes, while smaller glass holders with closed bottoms are votive or tealight cups. On 1stDibs, find a selection of antique and vintage glass candle holders.
