A 7-inch wall sconce with a mercury glass globe, finished in antique brass, for hallways and bedrooms.
The Preston Cylinder sconce pairs a sturdy cast brass and steel frame with a mercury glass shade that adds a vintage, reflective glow. Its industrial-modern style fits seamlessly into restoration-vintage or contemporary interiors. The antique brass finish and globe-shaped shade make it a versatile accent for various spaces.
Best for
- Hallways and corridors, mounted at eye level to create a warm, inviting path of light
- Bedrooms, flanking the bed as reading or ambient sconces
- Living rooms, accenting a feature wall or artwork
- Entryways, providing a welcoming glow near the door
- Damp-rated areas like bathrooms or covered patios, adding style safely
Not ideal for
- Large open rooms needing primary illumination - this is an accent light, not a main light source
- Spaces with very low ceilings if you prefer a flush mount, as this sconce extends 7.62 inches from the wall
