A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in matte black with a mercury glass shade, ideal for bedrooms and hallways.
The Athens sconce blends industrial and vintage-inspired design with a matte black steel and cast brass frame and a globe-shaped mercury glass shade. It uses a single medium-base vintage bulb (not included) to create warm, ambient light. Rated for damp locations, it suits bathrooms and covered porches as well.
Best for
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce beside the bed, mounted 60-66 inches above the floor
- Hallways and corridors as accent lighting spaced 6-8 feet apart
- Bathrooms with damp-rated fixtures, mounted beside a vanity mirror
- Covered patios or entryways protected from direct rain
Not ideal for
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting - this is an accent fixture
- Outdoor areas exposed to direct rain or moisture
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a standard 60W incandescent equivalent LED bulb, expect about 800 lumens - suitable for ambient or accent lighting, not as a primary room light.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, nostalgic glow. Use a 2700K-3000K bulb for a warm white tone that complements the matte black and mercury finish.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 7.44 inches from the wall, with a backplate 4.5 inches in diameter. Overall dimensions: 5.88 inches wide, 10.12 inches high. Works well in rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings.
