ABSTRACT:
A sconce for mounting on a wall and concealing a thermostat provided on the wall to prevent viewing and undesired manipulation of the thermostat. In a first preferred embodiment the sconce is characterized by a sconce bracket which is mounted on the wall above the thermostat and includes a generally semicircular bracket panel which extends perpendicularly from the wall, parallel to the floor. A quarter globe-shaped sconce panel is removably mounted on the sconce bracket and abuts the wall below the sconce bracket to enclose and conceal the thermostat. The sconce bracket and bracket panel are each provided with multiple air vents for allowing ambient air to enter the sconce and contact the concealed thermostat. A decorative object such as a flower arrangement may be supported and displayed on the bracket panel. In a second preferred embodiment the sconce panel is provided with a lockset for locking the sconce panel on the sconce bracket.
