I knew that I wanted this illuminating accessory in my entryway. I love the look of flickering candles and I felt that the wrought iron sconce would be the perfect addition to the space, Unfortunately, I couldn’t really tell my husband what I wanted because I didn’t have a name for it.
Basically, I found myself trying to describe a wrought iron sconce but this was a pretty frustrating task in itself. This kind of object is something that has a dreamy impact on the mind. I can remember what the wrought iron sconce looked like and I could feel the impact that the beautiful detail had on me but I just couldn’t put the experience into words.
I found myself using terms like “old-fashioned” and “castle candle holders”. My husband got a kick out of the second description. I think that he actually knew that I was talking about a wrought iron sconce but he was just too entertained to tell me to stop. I soon began making over the top gestures to illustrate the description.
Illustrations did come to mind and I tried drawing a wrought iron sconce to communicate my decorating idea but this proved to be as difficult as finding words. I sat at the table with pencil in hand but I couldn’t get my memory to tell my hand how to draw a wrought iron sconce. This was just too much.
I wound up trying the Internet for an example of my interior decorating idea but this was challenging since I couldn’t conjure up the words wrought iron sconce. I tried “lighting fixture” and “chandelier” in my search and this did little good at first. However, I did finally find a picture of a wrought iron sconce when looking at chandeliers made of the same material.
This was such an exciting discovery that I actually ordered a wrought iron sconce on the spot. In fact, I’m thinking about getting a chandelier to match.
