Inspiration

The Marisca Alabaster Wall Sconce is a seashell wall light — a hand-carved Spanish alabaster clamshell cradling a carved Spanish alabaster globe, on a brass wall mount. The G4 bulb behind the translucent alabaster throws a soft warm glow while the alabaster shell catches the light at its edges. One size, W 9.8″ × H 7.8″. For a bedside, hallway, powder room, vanity mirror, or entryway, it suits coastal, Mediterranean, coastal-grandmother, boho, and organic modern rooms.

Good To Know
!
1 × G4 socket · G4 LED bulb included & replaceable · alabaster shell · alabaster globe · brass mount · hardwired · powder room OK (no shower) · indoor dry only Both the shell and the globe are real Spanish alabaster, hand-carved — veining and tone vary piece to piece; alabaster is porous and not damp-rated, so keep it to dry rooms and never clean it with water. The mount is brass. Socket is G4 (small bi-pin base); a G4 LED bulb is included and replaceable, warm 2700–3000K — when replacing, match the voltage on the original bulb (see spec sheet). Hardwired to a standard wall junction box; licensed electrician recommended. Indoor dry locations only — powder rooms (no shower) and dry-zone vanity mirrors are OK; full bathrooms with shower steam and outdoor are not. Dust the alabaster with a dry cloth; wipe the brass with a dry soft cloth.
Key Features
Hand-Carved Alabaster Shell
A scalloped clamshell carved from real Spanish alabasterveining and tone vary per piece, so no two shells are alike.
Carved Alabaster Globe
A carved alabaster globe sits in the shell like a pearl, its translucent stone diffusing the bulb into a soft, even glow with no harsh hotspot.
G4 Socket, Warm Glow
A small G4 bi-pin socket with an included, replaceable G4 LED bulb (warm 2700–3000K) gives soft accent light.

Alabaster is porous — powder room OK, no shower The alabaster shell and globe are natural stone and absorb moisture. Powder rooms (no shower) and dry-zone vanity mirrors are fine; full bathrooms with shower steam and outdoor are not. Never clean the stone with water or cleaners — dust dry only. Veining and tone vary piece to piece — the character of the stone, not a defect.

Use Case

The Marisca reads as a shell holding a pearl of light — the alabaster globe glows softly while the alabaster shell catches the warm light at its scalloped edges. It's accent and ambient light, not a bright task fixture.

Use it flanking a bed or mirror in pairs, single in a hallway, powder room, or entryway, or as an accent-wall light. Mount the center about 60–66″ above the floor at a vanity, or align with nearby art and mirror heights. The shell motif and alabaster-and-brass pairing suit coastal, Mediterranean, coastal-grandmother, boho, and organic modern rooms. Email info@docos.us for hand-matched pairs or trade pricing.

FAQ
What bulb does it use — is it included?
It uses 1 × G4, a small bi-pin base. A G4 LED bulb is included and fully replaceable, in a warm 2700–3000K. G4 LED bulbs are widely available online; when you replace it, match the voltage on the original bulb (see the spec sheet), since many G4 bulbs are low-voltage.
What is the light like?
It's soft accent / ambient light — the translucent alabaster globe diffuses the G4 bulb into an even glow like a pearl, while the alabaster shell catches the warm light at its scalloped edges. It's a decorative accent sconce rather than a bright task or reading light.
Can I use it in a bathroom, and how do I clean the alabaster?
Powder rooms (no shower) and dry-zone vanity mirrors are fine; full bathrooms with shower steam are not, and neither is outdoor — alabaster is porous and not damp-rated, so humidity can stain or degrade the stone. Cleaning: dust the alabaster shell and globe with a dry soft cloth only — no water, vinegar, alcohol, or cleaners. Wipe the brass with a dry soft cloth.
How is it installed, and how high should it go?
It's a hardwired wall sconce that mounts to a standard wall junction box. Licensed electrician recommended. At a vanity, mount the center about 60–66″ above the floor; elsewhere, align with nearby art or mirror heights. Indoor dry locations only.
Will my shell look exactly like the photo?
Not exactly — the shell and globe are hand-carved from natural alabaster, so the veining pattern and color tone vary piece to piece. The listing photo is representative; this variation is the character of natural stone, not a defect. For close-matched pairs, email info@docos.us.
Alabaster — Natural Stone Lighting

The light lives
in the stone.

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.

01

Quarried

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

02

Cut & shaped

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

03

Hand-finished

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

04

Wired & assembled

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

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.
