A 6-inch, 1-light wall sconce with an oil rubbed bronze finish and mercury glass shade, ideal for hallways, bedrooms, and living spaces seeking industrial vintage style.
The Athens collection by Innovations Lighting brings industrial-inspired design with a customizable edge. This sconce features a sturdy steel and cast brass construction in an oil rubbed bronze finish, paired with a mercury glass globe shade that adds a subtle, reflective glow. The Edison-style vintage bulb (not included) completes the look, making it a versatile accent for transitional, modern, or restoration-vintage interiors.
Best for
- Hallways and corridors, mounted at eye level to create a rhythmic lighting pattern
- Bedrooms as bedside reading sconces, placed 60-66 inches above the floor
- Living rooms or dens as accent lighting flanking a mirror or artwork
- Covered patios or damp-rated indoor areas (damp location certified)
- Entryways and foyers for a warm welcome
Not ideal for
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting - this is an accent fixture with a single 60W-equivalent bulb
- Directly exposed outdoor areas without overhead cover (damp location only, not wet)
- Very small powder rooms where the 7.44-inch projection may feel intrusive
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a standard 60W incandescent equivalent LED bulb (about 800 lumens), it provides warm ambient or accent light - enough to define a hallway or add a soft glow beside a bed, but not enough to serve as a primary room light.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light with a soft, slightly reflective sheen. For a warm, vintage feel, pair with an ST64 Edison bulb at 2700K-3000K. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 5.88 inches wide, extends 7.44 inches from the wall, and stands 10.12 inches tall. The round backplate is 4.5 inches in diameter. It fits well in standard 8-foot ceilings and works in rooms as small as 5x5 feet when used as accent lighting.
