Medieval Wall Sconces - Of Kings, Knights And Candle Lights

Back in the time of medieval days, candles and torches dominated the night time. Since the invention of the light-bulb, we are now spared from wax burns and plagued with electricity bills instead. Thus, it is no surprise that some people would like to have a medieval-themed home which allows them to go back ancient times when men were kings of their castles.

Medieval wall sconces are perfect to create these effects. Modern day wall sconces are usually found with one, two or three electrical candlesticks or candelabra. On the other hand, real candles can be fitted into medieval sconces just like the ones offered at Medieval Mayhem. Their wall torches are available in three sizes and share the same designs. These medieval sconces are made with wrought iron and wood with a rustic flair within them. Thick candles can be placed on the top of the sconces, while the torches are removable and mounted just like real ones.

There are also other forms of medieval wall sconces like those available from the Metal Studio. A dash of modern day design elements have been infused into these medieval wall sconces for a less gothic look, even though they are still made from forged iron. Furthermore, colorful glass cups of red, purple and yellow to hold candles help to add a cheery mood to the sconces. Other features include glass marbles dangling below each candle pan, which are encased with strips of copper.

Apart from that, this 20” wrought iron sconce showcases an alabaster stone shade with a Palladio finish. Finally, the glass shade is held up by simple and swirling frameworks made to house a single 60 watt light bulb.
