A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in brushed brass with a mercury glass shade, rated for damp locations like bathrooms and covered patios.
The Athens sconce blends industrial and transitional styling with a brushed brass finish and a mercury glass globe shade. Its compact 8-inch width makes it a versatile accent light for hallways, bathrooms, or entryways. The fixture is constructed from steel, cast brass, and glass, and is UL and ETL certified for damp locations.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 30-48 in vanity, mounted as side lighting above mirrors or beside medicine cabinets
- Hallways and corridors where a compact, damp-rated sconce is needed
- Covered patios or entryways protected from direct rain
- Bedrooms as reading sconces beside the bed, paired on each side
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft if you need the sconce at eye level - the fixture extends 8.5 in from the wall
- Directly exposed outdoor areas without overhead cover - damp rating covers humidity and light rain, not direct downpour
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb you choose. The sconce accepts one medium-base (E26) bulb up to 60W equivalent. With a standard 60W incandescent, expect about 800 lumens - bright enough for task lighting at a vanity or ambient light in a hallway. For a softer glow, use a 40W bulb (about 450 lumens).
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light with a soft, vintage-inspired glow. The shade's reflective coating creates a warm, shimmering effect. For a warm ambiance, pair with a 2700K-3000K LED bulb. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulbs.
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. It mounts to a standard junction box. The shade is 8 in wide and 7 in high. Ideal for walls with at least 12 in of vertical clearance.
