A 1-light swing arm wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in matte black with a clear basket weave glass shade, ideal for reading nooks and bedside lighting.
The Athens swing arm sconce combines modern farmhouse style with functional adjustability. The matte black steel and cast brass construction is paired with a clear basket weave glass globe, offering a vintage-inspired look. The adjustable swing arm allows you to direct light exactly where needed, making it perfect for task lighting in living rooms or bedrooms.
Best for
- Bedrooms mounted beside the bed as a reading light, with the swing arm positioned over a nightstand
- Living rooms or home offices as an adjustable task light for reading or desk work
- Damp-rated bathrooms (above a vanity or beside a mirror) where a flexible light source is needed
- Hallways or entryways as an accent light with a directional beam
Not ideal for
- Large rooms as a primary overhead light - this is an accent/task fixture, not a room-filling light
- Spaces where a fixed, non-adjustable sconce is preferred
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb you choose (not included). With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb, expect around 800 lumens - bright enough for focused reading or accent lighting, but not sufficient as a sole room light.
Light color and feel
The clear basket weave glass shade provides a warm, diffused glow when lit, highlighting the filament of a vintage bulb. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulbs, allowing you to adjust the ambiance.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 13.5 inches from the wall and has an 8-inch wide shade. The backplate measures 4.5 x 7.88 inches. Ideal for walls with standard stud spacing; the swing arm requires clearance for full range of motion.
