A 6-inch swing arm sconce with a polished nickel finish and mercury glass shade, ideal for reading nooks and bedside lighting.
The Athens collection combines industrial styling with a vintage touch. The polished nickel arm and backplate contrast with the mercury glass globe, creating a warm, reflective glow. The adjustable swing arm lets you direct light exactly where needed, making it a versatile choice for task and accent lighting.
Best for
- Bedrooms, mounted beside the bed as a reading light with adjustable arm
- Living rooms or home offices, providing focused task light over a desk or chair
- Hallways or entryways, used as accent lighting with a vintage aesthetic
- Damp-rated bathrooms, installed near a vanity or mirror (UL damp location listed)
Not ideal for
- Spaces requiring bright overhead illumination - this is a 1-light sconce for accent or task use
- Outdoor areas exposed to rain or direct water spray (damp location only, not wet)
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used (not included). With a standard 60W incandescent bulb, expect approximately 800 lumens - bright enough for reading or task lighting. For a softer glow, use a lower wattage or dimmable LED bulb.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. The fixture is compatible with dimmable bulbs and a standard dimmer switch for adjustable brightness.
