A 1-light wall sconce from the Preston Bulb collection, finished in Black Antique Brass with a Mercury glass shade, ideal for damp-rated locations like bathrooms and hallways.

The Black Antique Brass finish and Mercury glass shade create a timeless look that complements modern, contemporary, and restoration-vintage decor. Crafted from steel, cast brass, and glass, this fixture is built to last.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 36-48 in vanity, mounted as a pair flanking the mirror
- Hallways and corridors, spaced 6-8 ft apart for ambient lighting
- Entryways and foyers, mounted at eye level above a console table
- Bedrooms as reading sconces beside the bed, 60-66 in above the floor
Not ideal for
- Outdoor uncovered areas - this fixture is rated for damp locations only, not wet locations
- Spaces where a high-lumen primary light is needed - this is an accent fixture
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb used. With a recommended ST64 vintage bulb (not included), expect approximately 400-800 lumens depending on wattage - suitable for accent or ambient lighting, not as a primary room light.
Light color and feel
The Mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. For a warm incandescent feel, use a 2700K-3000K LED bulb. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 13.25 in from the wall and measures 6.25 in wide by 14.75 in high. The backplate is 4.5 in wide by 7.88 in high. Works well in rooms with standard 8-9 ft ceilings.
