A 26-inch, 5-light chandelier from Innovations Lighting's Athens collection, finished in polished nickel with mercury glass shades, ideal for dining rooms and living rooms with damp-rated versatility.
The Athens chandelier blends industrial edge with vintage charm. Its polished nickel frame and mercury glass globes catch and refract light, creating a warm, luminous glow. The open cage design and ST64 vintage bulbs (not included) add a restoration-era feel that suits modern, transitional, and industrial interiors alike.
Best for
- Dining rooms with tables 48-60 in long, hung 30-34 in above the tabletop
- Living rooms and great rooms as a central ambient light source
- Kitchens with an island, centered over a 6-8 ft island
- Covered patios or porches (damp-rated)
- Open-concept spaces where a 26-inch fixture provides balanced scale
Not ideal for
- Small powder rooms or hallways under 6 ft wide - the 26-inch spread may overwhelm
- Low ceilings under 8 ft - minimum hanging height is 24.5 in
- Directly exposed outdoor areas without overhead cover (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you choose. With five medium-base sockets accepting up to 60W each (or LED equivalent), you can achieve 3000-4000 lumens total - comparable to a bright overhead light for a medium-sized room. For a softer ambient glow, use lower-wattage vintage bulbs.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shades diffuse light softly, reducing glare and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Pair with 2700K-3000K LED bulbs for a cozy, incandescent-like glow. The open cage design allows some direct light, adding visual sparkle.
