Yeah, wall lamps and sconces are pretty similar. To me, sconces are mounted flush against the wall and therefore beam the light upward which reflects off the ceiling. That being said, some sconce fixtures have openings in the bottom as well. A wall lamp, again to me, is affixed to the wall, yet the “lamp” part sticks out away from the wall on a post or rod of some sort. I usually define lamp as having a shade as well.
My fixtures are a porcelain quarter sphere (looks like half of a 15” wide bowl) which mounts against the wall. They are mounted high enough so as to not see the bright bulb source from within the fixture. The pewter ceiling shines and casts the light around the room nicely. And looks pretty awesome too.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
