Elysian Alabaster Wall Sconce
This lighting piece combines two hand-cut natural alabaster shades with a sculptural metal hub shaped like a sunburst. The design creates a distinctive glow that illuminates both upward and downward surfaces. Because every shade comes from genuine stone, internal cloud-like veining and warm translucency differ across each unit. The light spreads softly through the material, bathing the surrounding walls in layered warmth.
The central connecting band features a radiating texture available in finished Lacquered Brass, Antique Bronze, or Polished Nickel. Its symmetrical cone shape adds character to entryways, hallways, beside beds, powder rooms, or living areas. The fixture is elegant as a standalone unit but looks exceptional installed in matching pairs to frame a mirror or headboard.

Durability and Finish Longevity
Natural mineral sourcing offers tangible benefits over synthetic alternatives. The real stone carries a one-of-a-kind vein structure rather than repeating printed patterns. Unlike artificial resin which feels lighter and plasticky, this alabaster fixture possesses substantial weight and remains cool to the touch. The precision-cut edges age gracefully over time without exposing molded seams or discoloration.

Installation Guidance
Ensure power is switched off at the breaker before beginning. Secure the backplate to a standard junction box, connecting black wires to live, white to neutral, and green or bare wire to ground. Thread each alabaster shade onto the base carefully to protect the stone from impacts. Install standard E27 bulbs recommended for warm white temperatures. For bathroom setups, ensure the location avoids direct spray or steam. Professional electrician assistance is advised for hardwiring.
Product Care and Questions
Are stone veins considered flaws? No. The natural veining and color variations confirm authenticity, ensuring every piece is singular in its appearance. Does it light in both directions? Dual-shade models cast light up and down; single units direct light upward. Both designs reduce glare effectively. Is it suitable for moisture-prone areas? Yes, strictly indoors in dry zones away from water exposure. How should it be cleaned? Dust gently with a soft cloth using only mild moisture. Avoid harsh chemicals.
The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer switch and compatible bulbs.
