A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in polished chrome with a mercury glass shade, ideal for bathrooms and hallways.
The Athens sconce combines industrial and transitional style with a sleek polished chrome frame and a mercury glass globe shade. The cast brass and steel construction ensures durability, while the vintage ST64 bulb (not included) adds a nostalgic touch. Rated for damp locations, it works well in bathrooms or covered outdoor areas.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a single or double vanity, mounted as side lighting for grooming
- Hallways and corridors, providing ambient accent light every 6-8 ft
- Powder rooms, adding a vintage-industrial touch above a mirror
- Covered patios or entryways, thanks to its damp location rating
Not ideal for
- Large living rooms or open spaces where a single 1-light sconce may not provide sufficient illumination
- Directly exposed outdoor areas without overhead cover
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended 60W equivalent LED (800-900 lumens), it provides ample accent or task light. For a softer glow, use a 40W equivalent (450 lumens).
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. Pair with a 2700K-3000K LED bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like feel. The shade's reflective interior adds subtle sparkle.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 8.5 inches from the wall and measures 8 inches wide by 11.75 inches high. The backplate is 4.5 x 6.25 inches. Ideal for walls with standard 8-9 ft ceilings; mount at eye level (60-66 inches from floor) for best effect.
