A 40-inch, 6-light chandelier in antique brass with mercury glass shades, designed for dining rooms and living rooms with a vintage-industrial aesthetic.
The Athens chandelier combines antique brass metalwork with mercury glass globes, creating a dynamic play of light and reflection. Its six arms and adjustable hanging height make it a versatile centerpiece for a range of interior styles, from industrial loft to transitional.
Best for
- Dining rooms with tables 60-72 inches long, hung 30-36 inches above the table surface
- Living rooms with 9-10 ft ceilings, centered over a seating area or coffee table
- Open-concept spaces where the fixture serves as a visual anchor between kitchen and dining zones
- Entryways or foyers with ceilings 8 ft or higher, providing a dramatic first impression
- Covered patios or sunrooms with damp-rated ceilings (UL listed for damp locations)
Not ideal for
- Small powder rooms or hallways under 6 ft wide - the 40-inch diameter will overwhelm the space
- Bathrooms with direct shower exposure - damp-rated but not wet-rated
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft - minimum hanging height is 23 inches, which may be too low
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you choose. With six medium-base sockets, using 60W equivalent LED bulbs (about 800 lumens each) yields roughly 4800 lumens total - bright enough to illuminate a 12x14 ft dining room as the primary light source. For a softer ambient glow, use lower-wattage vintage-style bulbs.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shades diffuse light with a soft, slightly reflective quality, creating a warm, inviting glow. For a classic warm ambiance, use 2700K-3000K LED bulbs. The open-bottom shade design allows some direct downward light, making it suitable for task lighting over a dining table.
Sizing and fit
The chandelier measures 39.75 inches wide and 14 inches tall, with an adjustable hanging height from 23 to 47 inches (including the canopy). The canopy is 4.875 inches in diameter and 0.875 inches tall. It weighs 6 lbs and is sloped-ceiling adaptable. Ideal for rooms 12x12 ft or larger.
