A single-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in antique brass with a mercury glass globe, ideal for bathrooms, hallways, and powder rooms.
The Athens sconce combines industrial and vintage-inspired details with a sleek silhouette. The antique brass finish and mercury glass shade create a warm, reflective glow that suits transitional and modern interiors. Made from steel, cast brass, and glass, this fixture is UL listed for damp locations, making it a safe choice for bathrooms.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a single or double vanity, mounted as a side light for task and ambient illumination
- Hallways and corridors where a compact 8-inch sconce provides accent lighting without overwhelming the space
- Powder rooms and entryways seeking a vintage-industrial accent piece
- Bedrooms as a reading light beside the bed, paired with a dimmer for adjustable brightness
Not ideal for
- Large open rooms where a single 420-lumen equivalent sconce cannot serve as the primary light source
- Outdoor uncovered areas - this fixture is rated for damp locations only, not wet locations
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb (not included), expect approximately 800 lumens - similar to a standard 60W incandescent, suitable for accent and task lighting in smaller spaces.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. Pair with a 2700K-3000K LED bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like warmth that flatters skin tones and complements brass finishes. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 8 inches wide, 11.75 inches high, and extends 8.5 inches from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 inches wide and 6.25 inches tall. Ideal for walls with standard 8-foot ceilings; mount 60-66 inches above the floor for optimal light distribution.
