A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in black antique brass with a mercury glass shade, rated for damp locations like bathrooms and covered patios.
The Athens sconce brings an industrial-modern edge to any space with its black antique brass finish and mercury glass globe shade. The combination of steel, cast brass, and glass creates a durable fixture that complements transitional, vintage, and contemporary decor. Its compact 8-inch width makes it ideal for hallways, bathrooms, or flanking a mirror.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 30-48 in vanity, mounted as vanity lighting on either side of a mirror
- Hallways and corridors needing accent lighting every 6-8 ft
- Covered patios or entryways protected from direct rain (damp-rated)
- Bedrooms as reading sconces beside the bed, paired on both sides
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft if you need clearance above the fixture
- Directly exposed outdoor areas without overhead cover (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
- Primary room lighting in spaces larger than 10x12 ft without additional fixtures
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb you choose (not included). With a standard 60W equivalent LED bulb, expect 600-800 lumens - suitable for accent or task lighting, not as a primary room light.
Light color and feel
Use a warm white (2700K-3000K) bulb for a cozy, inviting glow that complements the mercury glass shade. The ST64 vintage bulb shape is recommended for a classic look. Dimmable if paired with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 8.5 inches from the wall and measures 8 inches wide by 11.75 inches tall. The backplate is 4.5 x 6.25 inches. Mounting center to top is 3 inches. Works best on walls with standard stud spacing.
