A 40-inch, 6-light chandelier with polished nickel finish and mercury glass shades, ideal for kitchen islands and dining rooms in transitional to industrial homes.
The Athens chandelier from Innovations Lighting combines a polished nickel frame with six large mercury glass globes, creating a dynamic fixture that suits a range of décor styles from modern contemporary to restoration-vintage. The sleek design and versatile finish make it an easy choice for homes seeking a statement piece with a touch of industrial flair.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 6-8 ft long, hung 30-36 in above the counter for focused task lighting
- Dining rooms with tables seating 6-8, centered over the table for ambient and accent light
- Open-concept living areas where the fixture serves as a visual anchor between kitchen and dining zones
- Great rooms or foyers with ceilings 9-12 ft, using the adjustable stem to achieve proper hanging height
Not ideal for
- Low ceilings under 8 ft - the minimum hanging height is 23 in, which may be too low for comfortable clearance
- Spaces requiring bright, uniform task lighting - this is a decorative fixture with 6 bulbs (bulbs not included) for ambient and accent light
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you choose. With six medium-base sockets (E26), you can install up to 60W incandescent equivalent per bulb (or LED equivalent) for a total of up to 360W. For a warm ambient glow, use 40W equivalent bulbs; for brighter task lighting, use 60W equivalent. Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer, but typical ST64 vintage bulbs in the 40-60W range produce 300-800 lumens each, totaling 1800-4800 lumens.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shades diffuse light with a soft, slightly reflective glow, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The fixture is dimmable when used with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing you to adjust the mood from bright and lively to soft and intimate. Color temperature is determined by your bulb choice; warm white (2700-3000K) complements the polished nickel and mercury glass finish.
Sizing and fit
The chandelier measures 39.75 in wide by 39.75 in diameter and 14 in tall, with an adjustable hanging height from 23 to 47 in (including the stem and canopy). The canopy is 4.875 in diameter and 0.875 in tall. It weighs 6 lbs and is sloped-ceiling adaptable, making it suitable for a variety of ceiling types. For best visual impact, choose a room with at least 8-9 ft ceilings.
