A medium-sized 8-inch semi-flush mount from the Athens collection, finished in polished chrome with a mercury glass globe - perfect for hallways, bedrooms, and dining areas.
The Athens semi-flush mount combines a polished chrome frame with a mercury glass shade for a vintage-industrial look. The globe-shaped glass provides soft, diffused light, while the 8-inch size makes it a versatile choice for rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings. Part of the Athens collection, this fixture complements modern, transitional, and restoration-style interiors.
Best for
- Hallways and entryways with 8-foot ceilings, providing ambient light without overwhelming the space
- Bedrooms, especially over nightstands or in reading nooks, where a soft glow is desired
- Powder rooms and bathrooms (damp-rated) for a stylish, moisture-resistant light source
- Small dining areas or breakfast nooks, adding a touch of vintage charm
- Covered porches or patios (damp-rated) for outdoor ambient lighting
Not ideal for
- Large living rooms or open-concept spaces that need a primary light source - this fixture is best for accent or secondary lighting
- Rooms with ceilings under 7 feet, as the 11.25-inch height may feel intrusive
- Areas requiring bright task lighting, such as kitchens or workspaces
How bright is it?
Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer, but with a single medium-base bulb (not included), the brightness depends on the bulb you choose. For a warm, ambient glow, we recommend a 40-60W equivalent vintage ST64 bulb.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light, creating a soft, warm glow that flatters skin tones and adds a cozy ambiance. The color temperature will depend on the bulb you select; we recommend a warm white (2700K-3000K) for a traditional, inviting feel.
Sizing and fit
This fixture measures 8 inches in diameter and 11.25 inches in height, making it a medium-sized choice for most rooms. The canopy is 4.5 inches in diameter, and the fixture weighs just 2.7 lbs, so it can be mounted on standard ceiling boxes.
