A 1-light wall sconce with a clear water glass globe on a matte black frame, ideal for hallways, bathrooms, and powder rooms.
The Athens Water Glass sconce combines industrial cast brass and steel construction with a clear water glass shade that has a textured, rippled appearance. The matte black finish and globe-shaped shade create a dynamic look that suits modern, contemporary, and restoration-vintage interiors.
Best for
- Hallways and corridors, mounted at eye level for ambient accent lighting
- Bathrooms and powder rooms with damp-rated installation, placed beside a mirror or vanity
- Living rooms or bedrooms as a reading sconce flanking a bed or sofa
- Entryways, adding a warm welcome with a vintage bulb
Not ideal for
- Outdoor uncovered areas—this fixture is rated for damp locations only, not wet locations
- Spaces where direct downward task lighting is needed—the globe shade diffuses light broadly
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended 60W ST64 vintage bulb (not included), expect around 800 lumens—similar to a standard incandescent, suitable for accent or ambient lighting in a small to medium-sized room.
Light color and feel
Use a warm white bulb (2700K-3000K) for a soft, golden glow that complements the clear water glass and matte black finish. The fixture is dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 6 inches wide, 12 inches high, and extends 13.12 inches from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 x 7.88 inches. Best for walls with at least 13 inches of clearance and ceilings 8 feet or higher.
