A 12-inch 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in Black Antique Brass with a clear glass globe shade, rated for damp locations like bathrooms and covered patios.
The Athens sconce features a heavy cast steel and brass construction with a sleek, adjustable arm and a large clear glass globe. The Black Antique Brass finish gives it an industrial-vintage look that works in modern-contemporary and restoration-style interiors.
Best for
- Hallways and entryways as accent lighting, mounted 60-66 inches above the floor
- Bathrooms with damp-rated fixtures, placed beside a vanity mirror or above a soaking tub
- Covered patios or porches where damp-location certification is required
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce on either side of the bed
- Living rooms flanking a fireplace or artwork for ambient glow
Not ideal for
- Directly exposed outdoor areas without overhead cover - this fixture is damp-rated, not wet-rated
- Spaces where you need bright task lighting - a single medium-base bulb provides accent-level illumination
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended ST64 vintage bulb (not included), expect around 400-800 lumens depending on wattage - similar to a 40-60W incandescent, ideal for accent or ambient light, not as a primary room light.
Light color and feel
Use a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb for a soft, golden glow that complements the brass finish. The clear glass shade shows off the filament bulb for a vintage look.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 16 inches from the wall, with a shade 11.75 inches wide and 10.62 inches tall. Overall height is 17.62 inches. The backplate measures 4.5 x 7.88 inches. Works well in rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings.
