sconce
Mounted candle holder
A sconce is a wall-mounted light fixture, typically decorative, that holds candles or electric bulbs and directs light upward or outward: The hallway was lit by antique brass sconces.
Historically, a sconce was also a small defensive fortification or earthwork, though this sense is now rare outside historical contexts.
