What Is a Wall Sconce?

A wall sconce is a lighting fixture mounted directly to a wall, providing ambient, task, or accent illumination without occupying floor or table space. Hardwired sconces like the Apollo connect to in-wall electrical wiring and typically require professional installation, while plug in wall sconce models offer more flexibility for renters or DIY setups.

What You Get With the Currey & Co Gold Leaf Apollo Wall Sconce

1. Laurel Crown Silhouette -- Hand-shaped wrought iron leaves form a dramatic 24-inch-wide crown that doubles as sculptural wall art.
2. Hand-Applied Gold Leaf Finish -- Each fixture receives individual artisan attention, creating subtle variations that ensure no two sconces are identical.
3. Four-Light Dimmable Design -- E12 candelabra sockets accept compatible dimmer switches, letting you adjust brightness for reading, dining, or ambient glow.
4. Damp-Location Certified -- Approved for bathrooms, powder rooms, and covered outdoor areas where moisture is present.
5. Traditional Meets Contemporary -- The classical laurel motif in a modern gold wall sconce finish bridges design eras and complements both brass wall sconce collections and black metal fixtures.
6. Generous Scale -- At 31 inches tall, the Apollo makes a commanding statement in hallways, flanking mirrors, or as a standalone focal point in living rooms.

Where Should You Install a Gold Wall Sconce?

Mount the Apollo flanking a bathroom vanity at 60--66 inches on center for balanced task lighting, or use a single fixture in a hallway to create a gallery effect alongside artwork. Pair it with contemporary chandeliers or modern wall sconces to layer ambient and accent light in open-plan spaces. The damp rating also makes it suitable for powder rooms and covered entryways where moisture is a concern.
