A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in matte black with a matte white glass shade, ideal for damp-rated indoor spaces like bathrooms and hallways.
The Athens sconce blends industrial and transitional style with a sleek matte black steel and cast brass frame and a cased matte white glass globe shade. Its compact 8-inch width and 8.5-inch extension make it a versatile accent light for corridors, vanity areas, or bedside reading nooks.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a single or double vanity, mounted as side lighting for even facial illumination
- Hallways and entryways where a compact, damp-rated sconce is needed
- Bedrooms as a reading light beside the bed, paired with a dimmer for adjustable ambiance
- Powder rooms where a small, stylish fixture adds character without overwhelming the space
Not ideal for
- Large open rooms requiring broad, overhead illumination - this is an accent fixture
- Outdoor uncovered areas - damp rating covers covered patios and bathrooms but not direct rain exposure
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb, expect around 800 lumens - similar to a standard incandescent, suitable for task or accent lighting. For softer ambiance, use a lower-wattage bulb.
Light color and feel
The matte white glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare. Pair with a warm white bulb (2700K-3000K) for a cozy, inviting glow that complements the matte black finish.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 8.5 inches from the wall, with a backplate 4.5 inches wide and 6.25 inches tall. Overall dimensions: 8 inches wide, 11.75 inches high. Ideal for walls with standard 8-foot ceilings; mount 60-66 inches above the floor for optimal light distribution.
