What Is a Wall Sconce?
A wall sconce is a decorative lighting fixture mounted directly to a wall, providing ambient, task, or accent illumination without occupying floor or table space. Wall sconces may be hardwired into electrical systems or available as plug in wall sconce models for easy installation. They serve functional roles in hallways, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living rooms while adding architectural detail and visual interest to vertical surfaces.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Delphos Wall Sconce
- Hand-Placed New Zealand Paua Shells -- each double-sided shell is individually positioned by artisans, creating naturally iridescent turquoise and gold tones that vary from piece to piece.
- Hand-Bent Wrought Iron Construction -- every rod is manually shaped to achieve the flowing, undulating teardrop silhouette inspired by peacock plumage.
- Contemporary Gold Finish -- the polished metalwork complements the natural shell luster and coordinates with brass wall sconce aesthetics in modern and coastal interiors.
- Sculptural Scale -- at 24.5 inches high and 13.5 inches wide, this statement fixture draws the eye and anchors design schemes in entryways, powder rooms, and living spaces.
- Lightweight Installation -- weighing just 7 pounds, the sconce mounts securely to standard wall boxes without requiring reinforced structural support.
