What Is a Wall Sconce?
A wall sconce is a lighting fixture mounted directly to a wall that provides ambient, task, or accent illumination. Unlike flush-mount ceiling fixtures, sconces project into the room and are commonly installed in pairs flanking mirrors, artwork, or doorways to create balanced lighting and visual interest.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Latimer Wall Sconce
- Dual Orientation Mounting -- engineered to install horizontally or vertically, allowing placement flexibility for hallways, bathrooms, or bedrooms without compromising design intent.
- Damp Location Rating -- certified for bathrooms and other moisture-prone areas where standard fixtures may fail over time.
- Architect-Designed Frame -- created by Barry Goralnick with precise geometry and an oil rubbed bronze finish that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
- Tubular Milk-Glass Shade -- diffuses light evenly to minimize glare, making it ideal as a bathroom wall sconce for vanity applications or bedroom reading.

Where Does the Latimer Wall Sconce Work Best?
This brass wall sconce performs well in bathrooms flanking mirrors, in hallways as repeating accent lighting fixtures, or as bedside reading lights in guest rooms. The oil rubbed bronze finish coordinates with traditional hardware while the geometric frame suits modern living room furniture settings. Install in vertical orientation for narrow wall spaces or horizontal in wide bathroom vanity applications.
