A 6-inch wall sconce with a matte white glass globe on a black antique brass arm, ideal for bedrooms and hallways needing warm accent lighting.
The Athens sconce combines industrial cast components with a vintage-inspired silhouette. The black antique brass finish and cased matte white glass shade create a look that suits modern, contemporary, and restoration-vintage interiors. With a damp location rating, it works in bathrooms and covered outdoor areas too.
Best for
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce beside the bed, mounted 60-66 inches above the floor
- Hallways and corridors as accent lighting every 6-8 feet
- Bathrooms with damp-rated fixtures, placed beside a vanity mirror
- Covered patios or porches where damp-rated lighting is required
- Living rooms as a decorative accent flanking a fireplace or artwork
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 feet if you need the sconce to project 13 inches from the wall
- Primary room lighting in spaces larger than 10x10 feet without additional fixtures
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used. The fixture accepts one medium-base (E26) bulb up to 60W incandescent equivalent. With a standard 60W bulb, expect about 800 lumens - bright enough for task reading or ambient accent, but not for lighting an entire room.
Light color and feel
The matte white glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare. Use a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb for a cozy, inviting glow that complements the black antique brass finish. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 13.06 inches from the wall. Overall dimensions: 5.88 inches wide by 11.88 inches high. The backplate is 4.5 inches wide by 7.88 inches high, covering a standard junction box. Mounting center to top is 7.06 inches.
