What are the exact dimensions of this wall sconce?

The fixture is 8.5cm wide and 33.5cm tall (3.3″ × 13.1″). The alabaster capsule is a single hollowed stone piece, and the brass band grips it at the center with a small round backplate that mounts to the wall.

What type of bulbs does this sconce use, and are they included?

Two E26 or E27 bulbs are included with warm light. For replacements, use short E26 or E27 LED bulbs—T-shape or small candle style—so they fit inside the 8.5cm capsule.

How is this wall sconce mounted, and what does the installation involve?

It is hardwired and mounts via a round backplate to a standard wall junction box. The backplate holds a short brass stub that carries the alabaster capsule, with no visible screws on the front.

What finishes are available for this sconce?

Three finishes are available: Brushed Brass, Brushed Nickel, and Matte Black. The brass band, arm, and round backplate come in each finish; the shade is Spanish alabaster with natural veining that differs per piece.

How do I care for the alabaster shade?

Dust the alabaster with a soft dry cloth—no water or cleaners. Wipe the metal parts with a dry microfiber cloth.

Inspiration

The Milano Alabaster Wall Sconce is a cigar in its band, cut from stone. The shade is a single capsule of Spanish alabaster, rounded at both ends like a pill, and a wide brass ring closes around its waist exactly where a cigar band sits, the only metal on the front of the fixture. Behind the band a short stub reaches back to a small round brass plate on the wall, so the capsule seems to float clear of the surface. Lit, the stone turns cloud-white with grey veins running through it, and the two halves glow above and below the band like the ends of a cigar held up to the light.

FAQ

Where does the light go?

The whole capsule glows, and the two bulbs push light up and down the wall from the rounded ends. Beside a mirror it lights the face evenly from both sides; it is ambient light, not a reading spot.

How high beside a bathroom mirror?

Mount the backplate at about 160–165cm/63–65″ so the brass band sits at eye level, with the capsule centered beside the mirror and 8–10cm/3–4″ clear of the frame.

Can it be mounted horizontally?

Yes. The round plate fits a standard wall box either way, so the capsule can run vertical beside a mirror or horizontal above it; the two bulbs then throw light left and right.

Which bulbs fit inside?

Two warm-light bulbs are included. For replacements use short E26 or E27 LED, a T-shape or small candle, so they fit inside the 8.5cm/3.3″ capsule; the stone hides the bulb shape.

Alabaster — Natural Stone Lighting

The light lives
in the stone.

Q: At what height should I mount this sconce beside a bathroom mirror?

Mount the backplate at about 160–165cm (63–65″) so the brass band sits at eye level, with the capsule centered beside the mirror and 8–10cm (3–4″) clear of the frame.

Q: Can this sconce be mounted horizontally instead of vertically?

Yes. The round backplate fits a standard wall box either way, so the capsule can run vertical beside a mirror or horizontal above it; the two bulbs then throw light left and right.

Hand-cut alabaster lighting that glows from within — chandeliers, pendants, sconces, and lamps, each carved from a single block of natural stone.

The Craft

From a block of stone
to light in your room.

Alabaster can't be moulded or mass-pressed — it is cut. Every shade starts as solid stone and is worked by hand until it's thin enough to glow evenly. That's why no two are the same.

Quarried

Blocks of natural alabaster are extracted and graded for translucency and the quality of their veining before any cutting begins.

Cut & shaped

Each block is sliced and turned or carved to form, then hollowed so a bulb can sit behind the stone wall.

Hand-finished

The walls are sanded to an even thickness so light passes through without dark patches, then polished by hand.

Wired & assembled

Fitted with brass hardware and wired to a 120V, safety-certified build, then inspected before it ships.

Inside the Workshop

Cut and finished by hand.

Raw alabaster blocks and hand-turned shades in our workshop — each piece is cut, hollowed, and finished by hand before it is wired and shipped.

Why Alabaster

What makes it read as something rarer.

Translucent, not opaque

Light passes through the stone itself — the lit-from-inside quality you can't get from glass or acrylic.

Veining unique to your piece

Cut from a solid block, so the cloud-like veining is its own. No two alabaster fixtures are identical.

Warm and glare-free

The stone scatters light rather than aiming it. Pair with a 2700K bulb; most fixtures dim on a compatible LED dimmer.

Made for layered rooms

A soft accent beside stronger overhead light — at home with wood, linen, and brass in modern interiors.

Lit From Within

It doesn't light the room.
It becomes the light.

Switched off, an alabaster fixture is a quiet stone object. Switched on, the whole piece glows — sculpture you happen to be able to turn on.

The Collection

A gallery of carved light.

Chandeliers, pendants, sconces, table and floor lamps — all cut from natural alabaster, most paired with brass. Dozens of pieces in all.

Find My Size

Which alabaster light
for which room.

Dining & Island

Hang a linear pendant or chandelier roughly 30–36″ above the surface. For a 6–8′ island, size the fixture or cluster to about two-thirds the counter length.

Foyer & Stairwell

Two-story spaces suit a tiered chandelier — Corbett or Miira. Keep the lowest point at least 7′ off the floor in a walkway.

Bedside & Hallway

A wall sconce — Ando, Marmo, Velora — frees the nightstand and adds the soft accent layer. Plug-in versions skip the hardwiring.

Living Room & Den

A table lamp — Marie, Pico — anchors a reading corner with warm light beside your overheads.

Questions

Alabaster lighting, answered.

Is alabaster lighting durable, or does the stone chip easily?

Alabaster is a solid, fine-grained stone with real weight — not fragile in normal use. It is softer than marble, so avoid knocks and harsh chemical cleaners. A soft, dry cloth keeps it looking right for years.

Will my alabaster fixture look exactly like the photo?

No — and that's by design. Each shade is cut from natural stone, so the veining and tone are unique to your piece. The product photo shows a representative example; yours will have its own distinct veining.

What bulb and colour temperature work best with alabaster?

Use a 2700K warm-white LED to bring out the honeyed, candle-like tone in the stone. Cooler bulbs make alabaster look gray. Most fixtures take an E26 or G9 base — check the product page — and dim with a compatible LED dimmer.

Which alabaster fixture should I choose for my room size?

Chandeliers (Corbett, Kurve, Miira) suit dining rooms and two-story foyers; pendants suit kitchen islands; sconces suit bedsides and hallways. Send us your dimensions for a free 3D preview to scale before you order.
