A 6.25-inch 1-light wall sconce from the Preston Bulb collection, finished in polished nickel with a mercury glass shade, ideal for adding vintage-industrial accent lighting to living rooms, hallways, and covered patios.
The Preston Bulb sconce combines heavy cast brass and steel construction with a mercury glass globe shade for a sturdy, industrial-inspired look. Part of the Edison family, this fixture can be customized with over 100 shade options, but the mercury glass finish gives it a timeless, slightly reflective character that works well in modern and restoration-vintage interiors.
Best for
- Living rooms and family rooms as accent lighting flanking a sofa or fireplace
- Hallways and corridors where a compact sconce with a 7.62-inch projection fits
- Covered patios or porches rated for damp locations
- Bedrooms as reading lights beside the bed, paired on each side
- Entryways and foyers mounted at eye level for a warm welcome
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms with direct shower exposure - damp-rated but not wet-rated
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting - this is an accent fixture using a single vintage bulb
- Very narrow hallways under 36 inches wide due to the 7.62-inch projection
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended ST64 vintage bulb (60W max), expect around 800 lumens - similar to a standard 60W incandescent, suitable for ambient or accent lighting, not as a primary room light.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, slightly muted glow. Use a 2700K-3000K vintage bulb for a warm amber tone that complements the polished nickel finish. Dimmable with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 6.25 inches wide, 13 inches high, with a 7.62-inch extension from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 inches in diameter. Ideal for walls with at least 8-foot ceilings; mount 60-66 inches from the floor for optimal eye-level placement.
