I think if you do sconces on either side of the artwork it will crowd the wall. If you want to light up the picture, I'd do a picture light for above it. Something simple. They make battery operated ones too if you won't light it all of the time.

Thank you for your suggestion. i appreciate it.

Thnk you, Jilly! i love the look! The wall color is Benjamin Moore, Adirondack Blue.

I agree with Emily. I recently got a picture light on a dimmer switch installed. It is such a game changer. The entire wall is a lit when it is on fully but when it dims, the painting just glows and looks like it is hovering on the wall. It is an incredibly beautiful way to change your wall from just a painting on a surface to something really special.

I also think the sconces in Jilly's mock ups compete with the painting and the chandelier a bit.

YW, Elizabeth. I like the look, too. :)

Of course we’re just seeing one fixed point in an image, but I don’t think sconces would compete with the other room elements at all. I think they fit your lovely style.

(I’m having trouble posting tonight, sorry if this posts more than once.)

I think the black sconces that @Jilly posted are perfect.

I love the black sconces best as well. They would compliment the black baby grand.

It doesn't look like you need sconces on either side of the piece of artwork. However, we figured we'd included two ideas for sconces from current designs we have done for clients. Take a moment to look and see what you think:
