A 12-inch 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in black antique brass with a matte white glass globe shade, ideal for hallways and bedrooms.
The Athens sconce combines industrial styling with a vintage touch. Its heavy cast components and steel construction give it a sturdy, contemporary look. The matte white glass shade softens the light, while the black antique brass finish adds warmth and character. This adjustable sconce fits seamlessly into modern, industrial, or restoration-vintage decor.
Best for
- Hallways and corridors, mounted at eye level for ambient lighting
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce beside the bed
- Living rooms as accent lighting flanking a mirror or artwork
- Damp-rated locations such as covered patios or bathrooms (non-shower)
Not ideal for
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting - this is an accent fixture
- Outdoor areas exposed to direct rain (damp location rated, not wet)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. The fixture accepts one medium-base (E26) bulb up to 60W (or LED equivalent). With a standard 60W incandescent bulb, expect about 800 lumens - suitable for accent or ambient lighting, not as a primary room light.
Light color and feel
The matte white glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare and creating a warm glow. Use a 2700K-3000K bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like feel. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 16 inches from the wall. The shade is 11.75 inches wide and 10.62 inches tall. Overall dimensions: 11.75"W x 17.62"H. The backplate is 4.5"W x 7.88"H. Suitable for walls with standard stud spacing.
