A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in polished chrome with a mercury glass shade, rated for damp locations like bathrooms and covered patios.
The Athens sconce combines industrial and transitional styling with a polished chrome frame and a mercury glass globe shade. The mercury finish gives the glass a reflective, slightly iridescent quality that adds depth to the light. Made from steel, cast brass, and glass, this sconce is built to last and is UL and ETL listed for damp locations.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a single or double vanity, mounted as side lighting beside the mirror
- Hallways and entryways where a compact, damp-rated fixture is needed
- Covered patios or porches protected from direct rain
- Powder rooms where a vintage-inspired accent light complements the decor
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft, as the sconce extends 8.5 inches from the wall
- Direct outdoor exposure to rain or sprinklers (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
- Primary room lighting in large spaces over 100 sq ft without additional fixtures
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. The sconce accepts one medium-base (E26) bulb up to 60W (or LED equivalent). With a typical 60W incandescent or 800-lumen LED, it provides ample accent or task lighting for a bathroom vanity or hallway. For a softer glow, use a lower-wattage vintage bulb (ST64 shape recommended).
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare and creating a warm, ambient glow. The shade's reflective coating adds a subtle sparkle. Use a warm white bulb (2700K-3000K) to enhance the vintage feel and flatter skin tones in a bathroom setting.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 8 inches wide, 12.25 inches high, and extends 8.5 inches from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 inches in diameter. It is designed for wall mounting with a center-to-top measurement of 2.5 inches. Ideal for walls with standard stud spacing and clearance for the 8.5-inch projection.
