What Is a Wall Sconce?
A wall sconce is a lighting fixture that mounts directly to a wall, typically hardwired into the home's electrical system, and provides ambient or task lighting without occupying floor or table space. Sconces are used in hallways, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living rooms to layer light and add decorative interest at eye level or above.
What You Get With the Protea Gold Wall Sconce
- Lotus-Inspired Silhouette -- Sheet-metal petals flow upward and spread open to mimic a blooming flower, creating an organic focal point on any wall.
- Handcrafted Iron Construction -- Each sconce is individually shaped in India, ensuring artisan quality and subtle variations that add character.
- Radiant Gold Finish -- The warm metallic coating complements both modern and traditional interiors, reflecting light beautifully.
- Dimmable E12 Socket -- Compatible with candelabra-base LED or incandescent bulbs, letting you adjust brightness for reading or ambient glow.
- Compact Footprint -- At 19.5 inches high and under 7 inches wide, the Protea fits narrow hallways, bedside walls, and powder-room vanities.
- Direct-Mount Installation -- Hardwired design provides a clean, cord-free look once installed by a licensed electrician.
Where Should You Hang the Protea Gold Wall Sconce?
Flank a living-room mirror or fireplace mantel with a pair of Protea sconces to frame the focal point and add symmetrical task lighting. In the bedroom, mount one on each side of the headboard at reading height -- approximately 60 to 66 inches from the floor -- to free up nightstand space.
