A 6-inch, 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in black antique brass with a mercury glass shade, ideal for bathrooms and hallways.
The Athens sconce blends industrial and vintage-inspired design with a sleek silhouette. The black antique brass finish and mercury glass shade create a warm, reflective glow that complements transitional and modern interiors. Its compact size makes it a versatile accent for smaller spaces.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a single or double vanity, mounted as side lighting for grooming tasks
- Hallways and corridors where a subtle, decorative light is needed
- Entryways and foyers as accent lighting alongside a mirror or artwork
- Bedrooms as reading sconces beside the bed, paired on each side
Not ideal for
- Large open rooms where primary lighting is required—this sconce is an accent, not a main light source
- Outdoor or wet locations—rated for damp locations only, not direct rain exposure
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb, expect about 800 lumens—similar to a standard incandescent, suitable for ambient or task accent lighting. For a softer glow, use a lower-wattage bulb.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. Pair with a 2700K-3000K bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like feel that flatters skin tones and warm finishes. The open-bottom design allows some direct light downward.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 5.88 in wide x 9.62 in high, with a 7.44 in extension from the wall. The backplate measures 4.5 in wide x 6.25 in high. Ideal for walls with standard stud spacing; mount 60-66 in above the floor for optimal lighting.

Frequently asked
Is the bulb included? No, bulbs are not included. A medium base (E26) vintage ST64 bulb is recommended.
Is it dimmable, and what dimmer should I use? Dimmability depends on the bulb used. If you install a dimmable LED or incandescent bulb, use a standard dimmer compatible with that bulb type.
Can I install this in a bathroom or outdoors? It is UL and ETL listed for damp locations, so it is safe in bathrooms (not directly in shower spray) and covered outdoor areas. Not for wet locations.
What's the warranty? 2-year finish warranty and lifetime electrical warranty.
How does the black antique brass finish compare to polished brass? Black antique brass has a dark, aged patina with subtle brass undertones, offering a more muted, vintage look compared to shiny polished brass.
