Description
A 1-light wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in matte black with a mercury glass shade, ideal for entryways and hallways.
The Athens sconce combines industrial and modern contemporary styling with a sleek matte black finish and a mercury glass globe shade. The steel and cast brass construction ensures durability, while the vintage ST64 bulb (not included) adds a nostalgic touch. This fixture is damp-rated, making it suitable for bathrooms and covered outdoor areas.
Best for
- Entryways and hallways, mounted at eye level to create a warm, inviting glow
- Bathrooms with damp-rated locations, such as above a vanity or beside a mirror
- Living rooms or bedrooms as accent lighting, paired with other fixtures for layered illumination
- Covered patios or porches where damp-rated fixtures are required
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft if you need the sconce to be the primary light source—its 8-inch width and 8.5-inch projection are best for accent or task lighting
- Directly exposed to rain or water spray (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose (not included). With a standard 60W equivalent LED bulb, expect around 800 lumens—similar to a traditional 60W incandescent, suitable for accent or ambient lighting. For a dimmer effect, use a lower-wattage vintage bulb.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. Pair with a 2700K-3000K bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like feel. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulbs.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 8 inches wide, 11.75 inches high, and extends 8.5 inches from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 inches wide by 6.25 inches high. It works well in rooms with standard 8-9 ft ceilings; mount at 60-66 inches from the floor for optimal eye-level placement.
