searching for sconces

certainly not this.


over the weekend, i helped my friend tania search for sconces for not only her bedroom, but her dining room as well.  we were so disheartened by our local lighting shop that had a lot of items that just made us sad.
so we looked online and discovered that in contemporary/modern lines there is a lot of aye aye captain style.

the other style that is quite prominent is the serviceable, handsome sconces that sort of say you don't want to sayanything for fear it might be the wrong thing..arghh!  OH..but then we walked over to jonathan adler's shop and fell in LOVE!

in love with MEURICE!!
{the meurice} felt fun and flirty, def made a statement..and at $250 a pop the price was irresistible. AH! but by that time we couldn't stop..so..

 we sat online for a while..check out these anemones from JA..so fab right?


and then we hit 1st dibs..which just blew us away.  we discovered 70's austrian glass ones made to look like icicles..craaazy good..no?


and these from the 90's from garouste and bonetti..gorgeous and giaccometti-ish..but pric-ey!


BUT wait..there is OCHRE too!  and a trip down sconce avenue would not be complete without a visit to their inimitable site..so lovely they are priceless.  {could not find any prices on the web}

have you any secret sconce sources?
