Penelope Barker Sconce
This style with a long, narrow glass chimney is based on a traditional oil lamp. In the late 1700s and early 1800s whale oil lamps would have been considered a "high tech" lighting solution in contrast with the established use of candles. Whale oil lamps offered more light, created less smoke and the tallow used in candles created a rather pungent and disagreeable smell when burned.
