A 1-light wall sconce from the Preston Bulb collection, finished in antique brass with a mercury glass globe shade, ideal for damp-rated indoor spaces like bathrooms and hallways.
The Preston Bulb sconce combines industrial styling with a vintage-inspired mercury glass shade and sturdy steel and cast brass construction. The antique brass finish and mercury glass create a softly reflective, silvery look that complements modern, contemporary, and restoration-vintage decor. Rated for damp locations, it's a versatile accent light for bathrooms, entryways, and more.

- Entryways and mudrooms, paired with a vintage-style bulb for a warm welcome

How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. The fixture accepts one medium-base (E26) bulb up to 60W (or LED equivalent). With a 60W incandescent bulb, expect about 800 lumens - similar to a standard living room lamp, suitable for accent or task lighting. Lumen output not specified by manufacturer.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. For a warm, inviting feel, use a 2700K-3000K LED or vintage-style ST64 bulb. The shade adds a subtle shimmer.
