Looking for a wall sconce that leans a bit more boho? Say hello to the Frideko Boho Battery-Operated Wall Sconces.

And not only are these lamps wireless and rechargeable, but they also have multiple color temperature settings and a timer to help preserve that battery.

Although these rechargeable sconces are operable through an included remote control, they look anything but newfangled. Their black iron construction makes them both sturdy and vintage-looking, though you won't be paying a hefty antique price when you buy the set.

This gold-toned sconce set also comes with a remote, though you can also adjust the fixtures' settings by tapping directly on them.
