A nostalgic design with milk glass globes that have been popular since Americana was new, the Highsmith Wall Sconce, Right, has an undulant personality. The metal stems that arc up to culminate in three heights on the gold sconce are in a brass finish, as are the brads that fasten the travertine wall-plate in place. The mix of these materials is a refined design detail on this sconce that has a left-facing partner for flanking fireplaces or beds.
