A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in antique brass with a mercury glass shade, ideal for living rooms and hallways.
The Athens sconce combines industrial steel and cast brass with a mercury glass globe for a vintage-inspired look. The antique brass finish and clear mercury glass create a warm, reflective glow that suits modern, transitional, and restoration-style interiors.
Best for
- Living rooms and family rooms as accent lighting beside seating areas
- Hallways and corridors where a warm, decorative light is needed
- Entryways and foyers mounted at eye level
- Bedrooms as reading sconces flanking a bed
- Damp-rated bathrooms (non-shower areas) for ambient or task lighting
Not ideal for
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting - this is an accent fixture
- Outdoor uncovered areas - damp location rated but not wet location
- Ceilings under 8 ft if mounted too low - projection is 8.5 in
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used (not included). With a standard 60W incandescent equivalent LED bulb, expect 800 lumens - suitable for accent or ambient lighting in a medium-sized room.
Light color and feel
Use a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like glow. The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare and creating a warm ambiance.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 8 in wide, 12.25 in high, and extends 8.5 in from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 in diameter. Best for walls with at least 12 in of vertical clearance.
