History: Wall candle sconces are not a new invention, but, they have been with us in many forms for many centuries. Since man discovered fire, ambient light from flame has been a staple of the home, whether that home was a cave or a castle. Early period sconces were as simple as a wooden torch wrapped in oil-soaked rags that often yielded very high and very dangerous flames. Lots of light, a bit of heat, and a great amount of danger from the flame burning out of control. With the introduction of candles made of tallow or beeswax, something new and functional, very often with ornate decoration, came into being. Wall candle sconces lent themselves not only to the convenience of controlling the lit flame and having a fixture for the candle, but, also led to safer lighting.
