A 1-light wall sconce from the Preston Cylinder collection, finished in antique copper with a mercury glass cylinder shade, rated for damp locations.
The Preston Cylinder sconce features a mercury glass shade that diffuses light with a subtle, reflective glow. The heavy cast brass and steel construction gives it a sturdy, industrial feel, while the antique copper finish adds vintage character. This fixture works well in modern contemporary or restoration-vintage settings.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 36-48 in vanity, mounted as a pair for soft, even task lighting
- Hallways and entryways where a warm, diffused accent light is desired
- Covered patios or porches protected from direct rain, thanks to its damp location rating
- Bedside or reading nooks when paired with a dimmer for adjustable ambiance
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft if you prefer a flush mount — this sconce extends 13.5 in from the wall
- Large rooms as the primary light source — it's designed for accent or task lighting
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb (not included). With a recommended 60W ST64 vintage bulb, expect about 800 lumens — similar to a standard incandescent. The mercury glass shade softens the light slightly, creating a warm glow.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, producing a warm, ambient glow. For a classic warm white, use a 2700K-3000K bulb. The fixture is dimmable with compatible dimmer and bulbs.
