Early 20th Century Candle Wall Sconce

Sometimes it’s the smaller details that create the greatest atmosphere, and this beautiful early 20th Century candle wall sconce is a perfect example. Elegant in its simplicity, it captures the charm of traditional candlelight while celebrating the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

Beautifully made from brass and dressed with delicate cut glass icicle drops, the sconce has been returned to its original purpose as a candle fitting, allowing the warm, flickering light to dance through the crystal just as it was intended. The gentle movement of the hanging drops creates a wonderfully soft play of light, adding warmth, character and a welcoming ambience that’s difficult to recreate with electric lighting.

Measuring approximately 36cm high, 30cm wide and 18cm deep, it’s an ideal feature for a hallway, dining room, sitting room or staircase, whether displayed on its own or as part of a matching pair. Its timeless design sits comfortably in both period homes and more contemporary interiors looking to introduce a little historic charm.

I’ve always believed there’s something rather special about candlelight. It softens a room, creates a relaxed atmosphere and reminds us that lighting isn’t just about seeing—it’s about how a space makes you feel.

I can imagine this being one of those details that guests notice as the evening draws in. There’s a quiet elegance about real candlelight that’s every bit as captivating today as it was over a century ago.
