A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in black antique brass with a mercury glass shade, ideal for bedrooms and hallways needing a vintage-industrial accent.
The Athens sconce combines heavy cast brass and steel construction with a mercury glass globe shade, creating a dynamic fixture that fits seamlessly into industrial, modern contemporary, and restoration-vintage décors. The black antique brass finish adds a weathered, aged look that complements both warm and cool interiors.
Best for
- Bedrooms 10x12 ft or larger, mounted as a reading sconce beside the bed
- Hallways and corridors, spaced 6-8 ft apart for even ambient light
- Living rooms as accent lighting above a console table or artwork
- Damp-rated bathrooms, mounted away from direct shower spray
- Entryways and foyers, flanking a mirror for a balanced look
Not ideal for
- Spaces under 7 ft ceilings due to the 14.12 in extension
- Primary room lighting in large open-concept areas without additional fixtures
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used (not included). With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb, expect approximately 800 lumens - bright enough for accent or ambient lighting in a medium-sized room, but not sufficient as a sole light source for large spaces.
Light color and feel
Color temperature is determined by the bulb. For a warm, incandescent-like glow, choose a 2700K-3000K LED bulb. The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 8 in wide, 14 in high, and extends 14.12 in from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 in wide and 7.88 in high. Ideal for walls with standard 8-9 ft ceilings. Damp-rated for bathroom use.
