In the middle of a master bathroom tearout and I'm changing the locations of my lighting. Is there a certain type of electrical box for wall sconces, since I'm sure the sconce mounts to the box and not to the wall?

I just installed two antique sconces in my bath. Plaster and lathe walls. I used a 4 inch octagon box and a generic round mounting bracket. I cut the holes tightly and used a couple of those metal finger-thingies to make sure the box was secure.
