A 6-inch wall sconce with a matte white glass globe and satin gold finish, ideal for damp-rated bathrooms and hallways.
The Athens sconce features a cased matte white glass shade that diffuses light softly, reducing glare while maintaining a warm ambiance. The satin gold finish and industrial design make it a versatile choice for modern, contemporary, or vintage-inspired spaces.
Best for
- Bathrooms with damp-rated fixtures, mounted beside a mirror or above a vanity
- Hallways and corridors where soft, diffused light is preferred
- Entryways and powder rooms as a decorative accent
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce with a dimmer
- Living rooms in a gallery wall arrangement
Not ideal for
- Large open rooms requiring high brightness as primary lighting
- Outdoor uncovered areas (damp-rated only, not wet-rated)
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft if you need the sconce at eye level
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb used. With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb (not included), expect around 800 lumens—suitable for accent or ambient lighting. The matte white shade diffuses light, reducing harsh shadows.
Light color and feel
Use a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb for a soft, golden glow. The matte white glass creates a gentle, even light distribution that flatters skin tones and warm interiors.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 5.88 in wide x 11.88 in high, with a 13.06 in extension from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 in wide x 7.88 in high. Works well in spaces with at least 8 ft ceilings.
