Sconces

Proper Height.     As was the case in colonial times, when sconces framed a fireplace, a mirror, or a wall hanging, like pairs should be used. (Antique sconces were often found in pairs.) Sconces were generally hung by a wrought iron nail or simple bracket at about eye level, roughly 67-69 inches from the floor to the center of the back shield.  This is also a good mounting rule of thumb for bath lighting.
