Nice room! What material is the art made of? It appears to be natural fibers. If so, I'm wondering if the WE grasscloth shade would be too similar. I prefer the Wayfair aged brass sconce and it's more budget friendly :)

thanks! Its canvas thats been hand painted. You can see the texture of the paint up close. Its warm neutral earthy organic looking - so I see why it appears fibers..

No sconces. The light above the art is the proper location to illuminate the art.

It's important you have the best bulb in your ceiling fixture.

It should be a PAR bulb not an R bulb. Find the one that fits your fixture.

The background color on your art is close to the wall color and so it doesn't show very well. I think that might be the reason you think you need the sconces.

Is the ceiling light centered on the fireplace and art?

Its not centered. But I can twist the bulb can to light it more centered. As far as function - ceiling light could work. However, I was putting sconce more as aesthetic/designer touch. But want it done right, if going this route...
