Inspiration

The Neptune Alabaster Wall Sconce is a minimalist sconce — a vertical natural-alabaster backplate in a D-shape silhouette paired with one, two, or three opal glass globes on gold-tone hardware. Three sizes: 3.9″ × 7.1″ (1-globe), 3.9″ × 11″ (2-globe), or 3.9″ × 18.9″ (3-globe). G9 LED sockets, 7W per bulb. For a hallway, bedside, vanity mirror, powder room, or accent wall. Modern minimalist, Quiet Luxury, Japandi, and Mediterranean style.

Good To Know

1, 2, or 3 × G9 LED bulbs · natural alabaster · opal glass globes · hardwired · powder room OK, no shower / outdoor Backplate is real natural alabaster stone (gypsum) — each piece has unique veining, color tone, and translucency. Globes are opal glass (milky white, smooth glossy). Hardware is gold-tone metal. Sockets are G9 (small bi-pin base) — widely available in the US; LED bulbs included by default. Bulb count: Small (7.1″) takes 1, Medium (11″) takes 2, Large (18.9″) takes 3. Use LED only, max 7W per bulb. Alabaster is porous and not damp-rated — OK for powder rooms (no shower) and dry-zone vanity mirrors; not for full bathrooms with shower steam or outdoor. Don’t use water for cleaning; alabaster absorbs moisture and can stain. Hardwires to standard wall junction box; licensed electrician recommended. Indoor dry locations only.

Key Features

Natural Alabaster D-Shape Backplate

Natural alabaster cut into a vertical half-rounded D-shape — veining varies piece to piece; no two alike.

Opal Glass Globe Shades

Milky opal glass globes diffuse the G9 LED evenly — no hotspots, no visible filament.

Gold-Tone Metal Hardware

A small gold-tone collar joins each globe to the alabaster — minimal hardware, so the stone and glass lead.

Available Sizes

Three sizes — same 3.9″ (10 cm) width; only the height and globe count scale up. Same alabaster, opal glass, gold-tone hardware, and G9 sockets in every size.

Size 1

Small — 1 Globe

For a bedside, hallway, or single accent — pair two for symmetry.

3.9″ W × 7.1″ H (10 × 18 cm)

Size 2

Medium — 2 Globes

For a powder-room mirror or vanity — most popular size.

3.9″ W × 11″ H (10 × 28 cm)

Large — 3 Globes

Bathroom use: dry zone only Powder rooms (no shower) and vanity mirrors outside the shower zone are OK. Full bathrooms with shower steam, kitchens directly over a range, or any outdoor location are not OK — alabaster is porous and absorbs moisture, which causes staining, discoloration, and surface damage over time.

FAQ

Which size should I pick for my space?

Pick by application. Small (1-globe, 7.1″) beside a bed, in a hallway, or as a single accent — pair two for symmetrical bedside or mirror flanking. Medium (2-globe, 11″) is the most popular vanity size — over a powder-room mirror or in pairs flanking a wider mirror. Large (3-globe, 18.9″) for tall vanity mirrors, master-bedroom feature walls, foyers, or hospitality settings. Mount the center of the fixture 60-66 inches above the floor at a vanity, or align with adjacent art and mirror heights for accent installs.

What is G9 and where do I buy replacement bulbs?

G9 is a small bi-pin base with two tiny prongs at the bottom of the bulb — smaller than the standard US E26 medium base. G9 LED bulbs are widely available in the US on Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, Lumens, and Bulbrite. Search “G9 LED bulb” or “G9 bi-pin LED.” LED bulbs are included by default, and bulbs are fully replaceable. Use LED only, max 7W per bulb, 2700-3000K warm white. Do not use halogen — it runs hot near the alabaster and small opal globe and can cause discoloration.

Will the alabaster look exactly like the photo? How do I clean it?

Variation is part of the material. Each alabaster backplate is cut from natural stone, so veining pattern, color tone (some pieces read warmer honey, others cooler cream), and translucency vary piece to piece. The listing photo is representative, not a guaranteed match. For pairs that need close visual matching, email info@docos.us for hand-selection. Cleaning: dust with a dry soft microfiber cloth only. Do not use water, vinegar, alcohol, or any household cleaner on alabaster — the stone is porous and will stain or etch. Opal glass globes can be cleaned with a barely-damp microfiber and standard glass cleaner.

Can I use it in a bathroom or over a vanity?

Powder room (no shower) — yes. Vanity mirror in the dry zone of a master bathroom — yes, as long as it’s well-separated from shower steam. Full bathroom with shower steam — not recommended; alabaster is porous, and repeated humidity cycles cause staining, discoloration, and over time can degrade the stone. Outdoor or covered patio — no; fixture is not damp-rated. Kitchen directly over a range — no; cooking grease and steam damage both alabaster and opal glass.

How do I install it — do I need an electrician?

It’s a hardwired wall sconce — mounts to a standard wall junction box. Licensed electrician recommended: each globe wires through the back of the alabaster panel, and the panel itself must be handled carefully during install (alabaster is moderately fragile and can chip if dropped). The Small size (1-globe) is straightforward; Medium and Large (2-3 globes) take more time because each socket wires through the panel. Confirm your junction box is positioned where you want the center of the fixture before drilling new mounting holes. Indoor, dry locations only.
