FAQ
Will my sconce have the same veining as the one in the photo?
It will have the same scalloped shape, but the stone pattern will be its own. This sconce is carved from a single block of natural alabaster, so the cloudy swirls, pale cream tones, and soft grey lines are different on every piece. The photo shows a fairly rich, layered pattern, and some pieces come out calmer and whiter. That variety is part of the appeal, since you end up with something no one else has. If you order a pair, expect them to look related rather than identical. Orders take 5 to 10 days on average to prepare before they ship.
How does it look with the light on, and when it's off?
With the light on, it gives a warm, soft glow at 3000K that shines through the whole stone. The LED is built in, so you won't see a bulb or any hard spots. The curved, wave-like carving creates bands of brighter and softer light along the sconce. When it's off, it still looks good, because the curves catch daylight and cast gentle shadows on the surface. It's an accent light, so add a ceiling light or lamp if you need more brightness for tasks.
Should I choose the 35cm or the 60cm height?
Both versions have the same footprint, 6.5cm by 8cm, so the choice is about height. The 35cm (13.8") version suits bedsides, hallways, and the sides of a normal mirror. The 60cm (23.6") version is a taller, bolder piece that works on high walls, beside a staircase, or next to a tall headboard or full-length mirror. A common starting point is hanging the shorter one with its center around 150cm from the floor. For the taller one, the center can sit a little higher. Tape a paper strip of the same length to the wall to see how it looks before you drill.
Is it better to hang one or a pair?
A pair gives a calm, symmetrical look, which suits both sides of a bed, a mirror, or a fireplace. A single sconce works well as a quiet accent in a hallway, on a stair wall, or beside a doorway. Pairs of natural stone will never match exactly, so think of them as siblings. If you want a repeating rhythm along a long corridor, several of the same size will make the curves read as a pattern. Whichever way you go, keep both at the same height so they look intentional.
Can I dim it, and do I need an electrician to install it?
It has a push button switch and isn't dimmable, so it can't be used 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, a licensed electrician is the safe choice. Switch off the power at the breaker before anyone starts work. The shade is a solid block of stone, so secure it with proper wall anchors or into a stud, especially the taller 60cm version.
Can it go near moisture, and how do I clean the curves?
It's made for indoor use and isn't rated for wet areas, so keep it away from direct splashes and heavy steam. Alabaster is a natural stone that can take in moisture, so a bathroom is a risky spot. For cleaning, switch off the light and let it cool. Use a soft, dry brush or cloth, following the curves so you don't catch the edges. Alabaster is soft, so avoid abrasive pads, glass cleaner, and acidic products. For a mark, dab it with a barely damp cloth and dry the area straight away.
