Wall bracket for a torch (6)

I believe the answer is:

sconce

(Other definitions for sconce that I've seen before include "Candle bracket - earthwork - head" , "Candle-holder attached to a wall" , "shelter" , "Ornamental candle holder" , "Fine < screen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
