A 6-inch wall sconce with a clear water glass globe and satin gold finish, ideal for damp-rated bathrooms and hallways.
The Athens Water Glass sconce combines industrial cast brass and steel with a clear glass globe, creating a vintage-inspired look that suits modern and restoration-style interiors. The satin gold finish adds warmth without being overly shiny, making it a versatile accent for various decor schemes.
Best for
- Bathrooms with damp-rated fixtures, mounted beside a mirror or above a vanity
- Hallways and corridors where a compact, directional light is needed
- Entryways and powder rooms as a decorative accent
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce when paired with a dimmer
- Living rooms in a gallery wall arrangement
Not ideal for
- Large open rooms requiring high brightness as primary lighting
- Outdoor uncovered areas (damp-rated only, not wet-rated)
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft if you need the sconce at eye level
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb used. With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb (not included), expect around 800 lumens—suitable for accent or ambient lighting, not as a primary room light.
Light color and feel
Use a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb for a soft, golden glow that complements the satin gold finish. The clear glass shade provides a bare-bulb look, ideal for vintage-style filaments.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 6 in wide x 12 in high, with a 13.12 in extension from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 in wide x 7.88 in high. Works well in spaces with at least 8 ft ceilings.
