A 6-inch wall sconce with an antique copper finish and mercury glass shade, ideal for living rooms and hallways needing a warm, vintage-inspired accent light.
The Athens collection combines industrial steel and cast brass with a mercury glass globe for a look that bridges restoration-vintage and modern contemporary. The antique copper finish develops character over time, while the clear mercury glass diffuses light softly. This sconce works well in pairs flanking a mirror or artwork.
Best for
- Living rooms and family rooms as accent lighting beside seating areas
- Hallways and corridors where a warm, dimmable glow is desired
- Bedrooms as reading sconces mounted beside the bed
- Damp-rated bathrooms (vanity area, not directly in shower) thanks to UL damp location listing
- Entryways and foyers to create a welcoming ambiance
Not ideal for
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting - this sconce provides accent-level illumination
- Outdoor or wet locations - damp location rated only
- Very small hallways under 3 ft wide where the 7.44 in projection may feel intrusive
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose (not included). With a standard 60W equivalent LED bulb (about 800 lumens), it provides comfortable ambient or accent light. For a softer glow, use a 40W equivalent (450 lumens). The fixture accepts one medium-base (E26) bulb, shape ST64 recommended.
Light color and feel
Choose your own bulb to set the color temperature. A 2700K-3000K warm white bulb complements the antique copper and mercury glass, creating a cozy, vintage feel. The mercury glass shade adds a subtle reflective shimmer. The fixture is dimmable when used with a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 5.88 in wide, 9.62 in high, and extends 7.44 in from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 in wide by 6.25 in high. Mounting center to top is 3 in. Works well on walls with standard 8 ft ceilings; allow at least 6 ft of clearance from the floor.
