Mid-Century Modern Wall Sconces

Mid-century modern wall sconces take their shapes from 1950s and 1960s design: cone shades, swing arms, opal globes, brass stems and slim wood details. They make good reading lights beside a bed or chair, and add a warm accent to living rooms, hallways and entries. Mount most sconces about 60 to 66 inches from the floor; for reading, a swing-arm sconce about 48 to 60 inches up, beside the bed or chair, puts light where it is needed. Plug-in models add light without new wiring. Browse our collection of mid-century modern wall sconces in metal, glass and wood, in brass, black, white and colour.
