A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in brushed brass with a mercury glass shade, ideal for bathrooms and hallways.
The Athens sconce combines industrial and transitional styling with a sleek brushed brass finish and a mercury glass globe shade. Its compact 8-inch width makes it a versatile accent light for smaller spaces, while the damp-rated construction allows installation in bathrooms and covered outdoor areas.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 24-36 in vanity, mounted as side lighting above the mirror
- Hallways and corridors, spaced 6-8 ft apart for ambient lighting
- Entryways and foyers as a single accent or in pairs flanking a mirror
- Covered patios and porches (damp-rated)
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft if you need to avoid glare from the exposed bulb
- Primary room lighting in large living rooms or open areas
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used (not included). With a standard 60W equivalent LED bulb, expect around 800 lumens—bright enough for task lighting at a vanity or ambient light in a hallway.
Light color and feel
Use a warm white (2700K-3000K) LED bulb for a soft, inviting glow that complements the brushed brass and mercury glass. The mercury glass shade diffuses light gently, reducing glare.
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. It fits well on walls with standard stud spacing.
