This captivating alabaster sconce is carved from a high-quality slab of natural stone, sculpted into a delicate, shallow bowl shape that maximizes its luminous potential.A central, satin-brass medallion serves as both a structural anchor and a sophisticated detail, contrasting the warm glow of the stone with its cool, metallic precision.
FAQ
Will the stone look the same as the one in the photo?
The shape and size will match, but the veining won't be identical. Each sconce is cut from a slab of natural alabaster, so every piece has its own mix of cloudy white, soft cream, and thin warm lines. The photo is a good guide to the overall look, not a promise of one exact pattern. That's why two sconces from the same batch can still look a little different side by side. If you're building a cluster, the variation usually adds to the charm. Orders take 5 to 10 days on average to prepare before they ship.
How much light does it give, and where does it point?
It gives a soft, glowing light that comes through the stone. The LED is built in and warm at 3000K, and the shallow bowl shape of the alabaster lets the light spread across the whole face. You'll see a gentle halo on the wall around it as well. It works as accent and mood lighting for a hallway, a bedside, or a feature wall. It isn't strong enough to be your only light in a room or to read by comfortably. For tasks, pair it with a ceiling light or a lamp.
Which size should I choose, and how do the 2-light and 4-light sets work?
Single sconces come in four diameters: 20cm (7.9"), 25cm (9.8"), 30cm (11.8"), and 35cm (13.8"). All of them are 7cm (2.8") deep, so they stand out from the wall a little and are worth remembering in a narrow hallway. The 20cm and 25cm sizes suit bedsides and tight spots, while 30cm and 35cm make more of a statement on a bare wall. The 2-light set pairs the 20cm and 35cm sizes, and the 4-light set includes all four sizes together for a layered cluster. A common starting point is hanging the center around 150cm from the floor. Cut paper circles to size and tape them to the wall to preview the arrangement.
Can I dim it, and do I need an electrician to install it?
It uses a push button switch and can't be dimmed, so don't pair it with a dimmer. The sconce is wall mounted and runs on AC 110 to 240V, which suits most homes. If you're connecting it to wiring in the wall, we recommend a licensed electrician. Switch the power off at the breaker before anyone starts. The shade is a solid piece of stone, so fix it firmly with proper wall anchors or into a stud.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
It's made for indoor use and isn't rated for wet locations. Alabaster is natural stone that can take in moisture, so it shouldn't be splashed or left in heavy steam. A spot well away from the shower and sink, in a bathroom with a good fan, is about the limit. Electrical rules for bathrooms differ by region, so have your electrician confirm the location. Bedrooms, hallways, and living rooms are the safest choices.
How do I clean an alabaster shade?
Turn the light off and let it cool before you touch it. A soft, dry microfiber cloth is enough to remove dust from the smooth face. Alabaster is a soft stone, so skip abrasive pads and rough cloths that could scratch it. Keep water, glass cleaner, and acidic products off the surface, because they can dull or stain it. If you spot a mark, dab it with a barely damp cloth and dry the area right away. The metal medallion in the center can be wiped with the same dry cloth.
