retro wall sconce

Retro wall sconces commonly use metal bodies such as steel, brass, iron, or general metal construction. Typical finishes include brushed nickel, midnight black, olde brass, and antique or matte tones.

Many retro wall sconces use standard Edison medium screw bases (E26) or candelabra screw bases (E12). Some fixtures instead include integrated, non-removable LED modules rather than a replaceable bulb base.

Available options include hardwired fixtures that require permanent wiring and cordless/rechargeable models. Some cordless designs use an internal lithium battery and recharge via USB-C.

Sconce sizes vary. Common heights range from about 7.75 inches to 17.75 inches, widths typically fall between roughly 4.5 and 9.75 inches, and depths usually span about 5 to 15.9 inches, depending on the model.

Some models are cordless because they include integrated rechargeable LED modules powered by an internal lithium battery (sometimes non-removable) and recharge via USB-C. These models often include touch or remote controls for operation and dimming.

Most retro wall sconces are single-light fixtures with one socket, though multi-light options are also available, such as two-light models with two bulbs or shades.
