Since I did a Sconces Part I, I feel a need to follow up with a Part II!
As I mentioned in Sconces Part I, I have recently developed a love for sconces. I think that they add a special touch to a room, and are one of the details that make an interior exceptional. For a long time, I begged Joni from Cote de Texas to do a sconce post, as she uses them frequently in her designs. In response, she did an amazing post a few weeks ago. Her post really covered the design aspect of sconces; I am going to add a few pictures of inspirational sconces that are in my tear sheet file.

Interior design by EKB Interiors. I think that the sconces above the fireplace are the 'Lur' sconce, by Laura Kirar for Baker (pictured above).

Interestingly enough, not very many of the rooms featured in my inspiration files (on my computer) have sconces. If I had it my way, every room in my house would have a sconce!
Do you have a favorite? My favorite is still the Gossip Girl Sconce.......

esign is by Christina K. Tonkin. Perhaps they have google alerts set and they will read this!
Update: I have worked with a custom lighting designer, and we have created a sconce that is inspired by the Gossip Girl Sconce:

I think the red coral sconces are from Moth Design. I have seen them in white and silver and they are very cool.
ReplyDeleteAnon - thank you so much for the Moth Design source! I am going to update my post.
ReplyDeleteYou know I spent an entire evening searching all my sources for the sconces. Nadda. So frustrating. I will keep an eye out. I'm a woman on a mission!
ReplyDeleteJane, you are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteStunning sconces. I love the ones alongside the window. Very posh!
ReplyDeleteI really looked the other night for the sconces you love - no luck. I'll try again! great post!! thanks for the shout out.
ReplyDeletei've never really liked sconces, mainly because i grew up in a house that had nasty ones plastered to our walls. it left a bad taste in my mouth - but these are gorgeous! a new found appreciation. :)
ReplyDeleteJenn ~
Dear Things, Those red ones are very cool!! actually they are all very beautiful - esp. the first picture :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat sconces! Very dramatic in entries, staircases and flanking mantles, but I'd love some in my family room near the sofa so I can ditch the traditional table lamps.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sconces!
ReplyDeleteTry Circa Lighting - Normandy Sconce
ReplyDeleteReen, thank you for the comment! The Normandy sconce is featured in my Sconces, Part I post. It is the only ready made sconce I have seen that has a similar look and feel. Unfortunately, I hate the standard finishes that it comes in. So limiting!
