This is a rustic antique Americana wall sconce, made from wood, with a metal candle holder and a drawer for matches or other storage.  The candle holder is fitted with rims to hold a glass chimney if you wish, but I am presenting it as found.  It measures 12 1/2" high by 4 3/4 inches wide, and is 5" deep.

One of the earliest forms of lighting fixtures for domestic and public use, sconces first appeared in Classical antiquity, but more elaborate variants were stimulated by the custom that arose in the European Middle Ages of affixing metal sconces holding candles to the walls of churches when they were consecrated.

Historically, candle sconces were often made of silver or brass from the 17th century, with porcelain and ormolu coming into use during the 18th century. The light of the candle flame was often intensified by a reflecting backplate.
