Egyptian Wall Sconces - Bring The Desert To Your Doorstep

Wall sconces are special as they portray distinct themes and styles that complement the interior décor. Of the many different themes available in the current market, the most unique of all has to be the Egyptian sconce from Meyda Tiffany. Tiffany stained glass has made its mark in glass manufacturing history in the 1920s. In that year, Louis Comfort Tiffany invented the copper-foil method of creating multi-colored pieces of glass. Different materials were heated up in combinations to produce a dazzling array of tones, shades and colors that had never been seen before by other glass manufacturers. This was the birth of the stained glass which can now be seen in big windows of churches, depicting religious events through the many splendors of colors. In fact, these stained glass effects are prominent in chandeliers, sconces and other lighting fixtures, including the Egyptian wall sconce.

Egyptian Wall SconceOne of the Egyptian wall sconces available in the market is part of the collection known as Quality Bent Glass featured by Meyda Tiffany. Other than wall sconces, this collection also includes several other Egyptian-themed furniture pieces, such as Egyptian-themed table and banker lamps, basket pendants and ashtrays. All furniture pieces in this collection share Tiffany’s stained glass signature which bears the backdrop of a sunset out in the desert. A hand-painted scene of palm trees, the Great pyramids and camels cover the outer surface of its red and amber stained glass. The scene is limited to the top part of the half pendant. This wall sconce is 11 inches tall by 12 inches wide and priced between $99 and $145. It houses a single bulb of 100 watts and is a truly remarkable addition to any interior décor.

Another type of Egyptian wall sconces is the Renenutet Cobra Goddess Wall Sconces that feature two cobra motifs as the body of the sconces, carefully balancing two discs for the placement of candles. Priced at only $29.95 and made of resin, these twin Egyptian wall sconces will definitely add a dramatic and historic effect into your room.
