A polished nickel wall sconce with a mercury glass globe, designed for bathrooms and hallways where damp-rated lighting is required.
The Athens collection combines industrial and modern transitional styling with a polished nickel finish and a mercury glass shade. The cast brass and steel construction ensures durability, while the vintage ST64 bulb (not included) adds a warm, nostalgic glow. This sconce is UL and ETL listed for damp locations, making it suitable for bathrooms and covered outdoor areas.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a single or double vanity, mounted as side lighting beside the mirror
- Hallways and corridors where a compact, damp-rated fixture is needed
- Powder rooms and entryways with a modern or transitional aesthetic
- Covered patios or porches (damp location rated)
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft - the fixture extends 8.5 in from the wall
- Primary room lighting - this is an accent sconce, not a main light source
- Wet locations (direct rain or shower spray) - damp rated only
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a standard 60W equivalent LED (800 lumens), it provides ample accent or task lighting for a vanity. For a softer glow, use a 40W equivalent (450 lumens).
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light into a soft, warm glow. Pair with a 2700K-3000K LED bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like feel. The open-bottom design allows some direct light downward.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 8 in wide, 11.75 in high, and extends 8.5 in from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 in wide and 6.25 in high. Mounting center to top is 3 in. Works best on walls with at least 12 in of clearance.
