A 5-inch swing arm wall sconce with a polished nickel finish and mercury glass shade, ideal for reading nooks and bedside lighting.
The Cobbleskill collection combines heavy cast components with a sleek, adjustable swing arm design. The polished nickel finish and mercury glass shade offer a vintage-industrial look that complements transitional, art nouveau, and restoration-vintage decor. This sconce is damp-rated, making it suitable for bathrooms and covered patios.
Best for
- Bedrooms as a reading light beside the bed, mounted 48-60 inches above the floor
- Living rooms or home offices as an adjustable task light over a desk or chair
- Bathrooms with damp-rated fixtures, mounted beside a vanity mirror
- Covered patios or porches where damp-rated lighting is required
- Hallways or entryways as accent lighting with a vintage touch
Not ideal for
- Large rooms needing primary overhead lighting - this is an accent/task light
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft if you need the arm to extend fully without obstruction
- Outdoor areas exposed to direct rain - damp-rated only, not wet-rated
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used (not included). With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb, expect approximately 800 lumens - bright enough for focused reading or task lighting, but not for illuminating a whole room.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. Pair with a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like feel. The open bottom allows some direct downward light for reading.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 12 inches from the wall and has a 5-inch wide shade. The backplate measures 4.5 x 7.88 inches. Ideal for walls with standard stud spacing; the swing arm allows positioning flexibility.
