Wall Candle Sconces

Our carved wall candle sconces are something I sometimes call “Waltars,” short for Wall Altars. They combine decorative woodwork with a place for a candle, creating a small personal altar for those who wish to honor a culture, tradition, or belief that holds meaning for them.

Honoring our ancestors is one of humanity’s oldest traditions, found in cultures throughout the world. These Waltars offer a way to keep that connection alive in our homes, whether as a place of remembrance and reverence or simply as artwork celebrating the traditions of those who came before us.

The pieces pictured here feature Nordic and Slavic imagery, but we’ve also explored Germanic, Celtic, Turkic, and other cultural traditions. Whatever culture or symbolism you feel a connection with, we can create a Waltar inspired by it.
