French-style Sconces

 

I have been in awe of these French Country Chateau crystal sconce fixtures ever since I spotted them on a jaunt to DOP Antiques a while ago. I showed you the sconces in an earlier post.

Last weekend when J and I were out and about, we were in the area, so we stopped at DOP Antiques to see if the larger sconces were still available.

Low and behold, they were still there and reduced. I have researched these for months and I have found the pair for over $600.00 on Indeed Decor and on ebay. Though I love them, that is way too much to pay.

I am using them non-electrified for now, but each has the possibility to be rewired for electrical use. I bet the illumination is spectacular.

I always longed for the sconces for use behind the sofa in the parlor. I simply rearranged the crest prints and antler trophies. I also removed the magnolia wreath.

The crest pictures now go upwards towards the ceiling. I like the way the six prints accentuate the 14’ ceiling height of the room.

Each sconce was positioned on each side of the prints. I love the look. It looks vintage yet refined.

  8. Adore the sconces. And yes, I bet they are spectacular illuminated. A thought...are the back open or accessible? We got the coolest battery operated candles at PB that have a timer. They come on at the same time each night and are lit for 5-6 hours. Wondered if you could put some inside for the time being.

  14. Hi Ron, love the sconces, look great!! Just a suggestion, I had something similar, not sure if your sconces open, but I put a small, I believe they're called Dot lights or puck lights that I got at Lowe's for about $10, to illuminate them from behind. Works wonderfully, can be tapped on and off. I found Lowe's has lots of small lighting devices without having to wire. Kay
