A 6-inch 1-light wall sconce with a mercury glass globe and matte black finish, ideal for entryways and hallways needing a touch of industrial-modern style.
The Athens sconce from Innovations Lighting combines a sleek matte black steel and cast brass backplate with a mercury glass globe shade. The vintage-inspired ST64 bulb (not included) adds a warm glow, making this fixture a versatile accent for transitional, industrial, or modern interiors.
Best for
- Entryways and hallways, mounted at eye level to create a welcoming glow
- Living rooms or bedrooms as a reading or accent light beside a sofa or bed
- Damp-rated bathrooms (non-shower areas) for a stylish vanity or mirror light
- Covered patios or porches where damp location rating is required
Not ideal for
- Spaces needing bright task lighting—this is an accent fixture with a single bulb
- Shower or direct water exposure areas (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
- Very large rooms where a single sconce may be insufficient for ambient light
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb (about 800 lumens), it provides warm accent lighting suitable for hallways, entryways, or as a secondary light source.
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 complements the industrial finish.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 7.44 inches from the wall, with a backplate of 4.5 x 6.25 inches. It fits well in standard 8-foot ceilings and works in smaller spaces like hallways or powder rooms.
