Candle Wall Sconces

Candle Wall Sconces

Candle wall sconces are wall lights that either serve as wall-mounted candle holders or as candle-looking electric or battery-powered light sources.

These sconces are excellent wall devices, both in style and lighting atmosphere. Apart from giving off the classical medieval or vintage appeal, these lights can create a soothing and soft ambience, inducing a relaxed yet bright environment as opposed to the effect of overhead lighting. In particular, their glow is similar to lamps, but unlike the latter, these lights do not take up any precious floor or table space.

Zest Lighting presents our meticulously curated range of candle wall sconces fit for home and office use. While most of these lights depict the charm of the traditional and vintage styles, we also have candle wall lights influenced by modern design and other aesthetics. All items are available for free and fast shipping anywhere in Australia.
Add the glorious appeal of the past and current eras with candle wall sconces suitable for your lovely rooms.

THE HISTORICAL JOURNEY OF CANDLE WALL SCONCES

Before the advent of electricity, fire was the primary source of light for centuries. Candles and torches lit passageways and were often placed on wall-mounted holders in castles and homes. Servants carefully tended to these lights, ensuring a steady glow.

However, exposed flames posed significant fire hazards. With the discovery of glassmaking, lanterns emerged as safer alternatives. Over time, enclosed glass cases replaced open metal holders, improving safety while maintaining functionality.

As technology advanced, oil and gas lamps became popular, gradually reducing the reliance on candles. However, candlelight never completely disappeared, remaining a staple for those who could not afford oil or gas lighting.

As electricity became widespread, light bulbs replaced traditional fire-based lighting. However, candle wall sconces remained popular, inspiring designers to create electric versions that replicate the charm of candlelight. Today, candle wall sconces continue to be a beloved feature in both vintage and modern interior designs.

Lantern-Style Candle Wall Sconces: Evoke the historical charm of early glass lanterns. Often designed with a rustic metal frame and glass enclosures, making them ideal for outdoor wall lights.
