A 1-light wall sconce with a polished nickel finish and mercury glass shade, ideal for bathrooms and hallways needing a vintage-industrial accent.
The Athens sconce from Innovations Lighting combines industrial-inspired design with refined materials. The polished nickel frame and cast brass details contrast beautifully with the mercury glass globe, which has a silvery, reflective finish that softens the light. This sconce is part of the versatile Edison family, allowing customization with shades from the Franklin and Ballston collections.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a single or double vanity, mounted as a pair for balanced lighting
- Hallways and corridors where a compact, damp-rated fixture is needed
- Entryways and foyers as a decorative accent light
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce beside the bed
Not ideal for
- Large rooms requiring high brightness as primary lighting – this is an accent fixture
- Outdoor uncovered areas – damp-rated only, not wet-rated
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb used (not included). With a standard 60W incandescent equivalent LED bulb, expect around 800 lumens – suitable for accent or ambient lighting in smaller spaces.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light with a soft, warm glow. For a vintage look, pair with an ST64 Edison bulb (recommended). The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 7.44 inches from the wall and has a backplate 4.5 inches in diameter. Overall dimensions: 5.88 inches wide by 10.12 inches high. Works well in rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings.
