I received a pair of wall sconces for christmas and I don't know how to
hang them. They are not electric, but they did not come with any
hanging hardware and don't have any spots to put nails, hooks, or
screws into. They are made of metal and are in a dual swirl shape (one
swirl above the other), and I think I need to hang the middle part of
the swirl on them. The part I am having trouble with is the type of
hardware to use. If I use a nail they could just be pulled off of it,
and if I use a hook it would show a lot. Is there something special for
this type of thing?

Ah one of the challenging things.

Nails or screws can support this if there are mounted where the curving hook
terminates. Which is about the mid-point at the top. If doing it this way I
would do the top one only first to find the balance point. Then add the
second one at the bottom.

Another way would be to purchase some small cable straps that fit the
diameter of the metal, paint them a similar color and use a couple per
sconce. The advantage to this method it that there is no concern about
hitting studs. Two screws per unit into plastic anchors will hold them just
fine.

Happing hanging.
