As always, what we try to do should have some form of old style. Of course, I'd prefer to go around just with candles and kerosene lamps, but I would really need a maid then...(which I'd need anyway).
Anyway, electricity did come to Åkarp 1912, so we can assume at least a century of lamps being used.
In the specific, I have managed to find on the online flea markets two wall sconces old style. I don't know how old, but they looked nice enough (sometimes, it is just too time taking to find the right item and one has to get happy with a good mixture that compromises aesthetic, price and style.

The bulb was not straightforward. But we decided to go for a LED lightbulb (dimmable!) with an old-ish look.

One should mention though that I managed to have to return twice to the shop (which is one of my favorite, of course!) since I had bought the set only for a sconce and not two!!
What a pity! I had to go back and fix the problem!
Very nice sconce. It is all in the details👌
