Drapery Sconces - Not Only Good Just For Lighting

Drapery sconces are one of the most versatile types of sconces as they can double as lighting fixtures as well as function to hold up curtains. This is accomplished through the inclusion of bracket holes on the sconces which are used to hold the fabric or curtain rods/poles. These sconces also exist in the form of solid woodwork and double as part of the interior décor.

As lighting fixtures, drapery sconces are designed with single, double or triple faux candlesticks. These brass-finished drapery wall sconces are produced with richly textured surfaces and molded tassels that elongate the sconce design. Another form of drapery wall sconce is an upturned pendant from Farallon By Shaper. The pendant rims are laced with either brass or copper with strips of metal flowing out of the mouth of the pendant for a unique cloth effect. The single 75-watt light bulb is hidden from view by the milk glass of this $1125 pendant.

Drapery wall sconces, also known as curtain sconces, are made from wood, resin or Styrofoam. The New Classic Drapery Sconce collection, available at Interiormall.com, showcases six beautiful drapery sconces with 1 3/8” bracket holes incorporating various motifs like leaves and roses as well as the classical scroll design. Available in white wash, cherry and lacquered natural finish, these are also affordable with price ranges from below $20 to $42 per sconce.
