these both seem to be sconces. The apliques have "vidros jateados". no description of the arandelas. Any enlightenment would be appreciated

ARANDELA / APLIQUE
Selected
wall lights
arandelas are usually for candles, so sconces would be appropriate here.
Apliques are from the French, applique meaning wall lights.
