A moon resting on the edge of the wall.
Vidirlighting’s Lunara alabaster globe wall lamp positions a natural alabaster sphere in front of a folded metal plate, making the stone appear like a bright moon rising above a roofline.
The idea came from a moonrise seen from a city street, when the moon sits exactly on the roofline: half hidden by the building, half glowing above it. The backplate is folded into a clean right angle, the sphere is cut and polished from one block of alabaster, and the two simply lean against each other with nothing else in the way.
Alabaster carries light through the stone itself, so the sphere glows evenly and the veining only appears once the sconce is switched on. Above and below it, the open plate lays two soft pools of light across the wall, which lets a small fixture light a whole corner without a single point of glare.
Hang a pair on either side of a headboard as a bedside wall sconce, run three down a hallway, place one on a stairwell landing, or mount two beside a mirror in a powder room. Choose black for a graphic outline, gold for warmth, or nickel for a cool, gallery-like calm. It is a modern alabaster wall sconce that reads as sculpture by day and a pool of warm light after dark.
Alabaster does what glass cannot: it carries the light through the stone, so the veining lights up and the glare disappears. Above and below the sphere, the open plate lays two soft pools of light across the wall.
Each sphere is cut and polished from natural alabaster, so tone and veining vary from piece to piece. Yours will look slightly different from the photos: a characteristic of real stone, not a defect.
Tell us the look you want before you order and we will select the stone to suit. For a pair or a row we pick spheres that sit well together, then photograph them for your approval before they ship.
The same alabaster sphere on three different plates. The finish changes how warm the stone reads and how strongly the sconce stands out against your wall.

The plate disappears against dark paint and sharpens the sphere on pale plaster. The most graphic of the three, and the easiest to pair with black window frames or hardware.

Brass warms up as soon as the sconce is lit, picking up the honey tone inside the stone. Best with wood, cream walls and other brass fittings.

A cool, quiet grey that keeps the stone looking white rather than warm. At home in bathrooms, galleries and modern rooms with chrome or steel.

Large enough to read as a sphere, slim enough for a hallway. Hang two beside a bed, three along a corridor, or one on a stair landing.
MOUNTING HEIGHTS
60–66″ from the floor to the centre of the sphere, spaced 8–10 ft apart.
48–60″ from the floor, so the glow falls on your book rather than your eyes.
36–40″ apart, centre to centre, with the spheres at about eye level.
The sconce takes one G9 bulb, not included, so you can choose the colour of light yourself. We recommend warm white 2700–3000K, which keeps the alabaster honey-toned rather than grey.
About dimmingDimming depends on the bulb you fit. A dimmable G9 bulb with a compatible dimmer will dim; a standard bulb will not.
Sconces almost always look better in pairs. Choose the option marked (*2) and you get two at a lower price than buying them one at a time, with both spheres picked to sit well together.

Yes. Each sphere is cut and polished from natural alabaster, so veining varies from piece to piece.
Closely, but not exactly. Tone and veining differ in every stone, which is a characteristic of real stone.
Yes. Tell us before you order and we will select the stone and photograph it for your approval.
Yes. Choose the (*2) option and we pick two spheres that sit well together.
No. It takes one G9 bulb, up to 40W, so you choose the light colour yourself.
It depends on the bulb. A dimmable G9 bulb with a compatible dimmer will dim; a standard bulb will not.
Warm white 2700–3000K, which keeps the alabaster honey-toned rather than grey.
A soft glow through the stone plus a wash up and down the wall. It is accent light, not task light.
60–66″ to the centre in hallways and living rooms, 48–60″ beside a bed.
It mounts to a wall junction box, so we recommend a licensed electrician.
It is rated IP20 for indoor, dry locations, so keep it away from showers and steam.
Wipe the sphere with a soft, dry cloth. Alabaster is porous, so skip water and cleaners.
Each sconce takes 5–10 days to prepare and inspect before it ships.
Switch off at the breaker and confirm before wiring.
Secure the backplate to a rated wall junction box.
Black to black, white to white, ground to ground.
Seat the alabaster sphere, fit the bulb and switch on.
Hardwired to a wall junction box. We recommend a licensed electrician for any hardwired fixture.

Natural stone lighting
The Vidir lighting edit
Most shades block light and let it out at the edges. Yet, this stone-textured lampshade manages to achieve exactly that.
Alabaster is translucent. Switch it on and the whole shade lights up from within, veining and all, instead of glowing only where the bulb sits. There is no bright spot to look at, because the light source is the entire surface.
The veining was decided underground, long before anyone cut it. Every shade carries its own pattern and its own faint colour shift — so the piece that arrives is not the piece in the photograph, and that is the point.
Resin and acrylic imitations go amber and brittle within a few years of sitting next to a warm bulb. Stone does not age that way. The shade you unpack is the shade you will have in twenty years.
Designed for better living
Use warm white (2700K). The stone itself has an off-white, creamy tone; cool light passing through it makes it look grayish and dingy, whereas warm light brings out that honey-like hue seen in the photos.
Alabaster is a natural stone that absorbs water and cleaning agents, which can leave permanent stains. Disconnect the power, let the bulb cool down, and then wipe the fixture with a soft, dry cloth—do not use water or spray cleaners.
The density of the stone is far greater than that of a glass shade of the same size; ensure the ceiling's load-bearing capacity is sufficient for safety.

Our product
Alabaster Cylindrical Chain Chandelier
Alabaster is translucent, so the light travels through the stone rather than escaping at the edges — the whole shade glows, veining and all. Every piece carries a pattern that was decided underground, which is why no two are alike.
Resin is cast in moulds, so the "veining" repeats from one shade to the next and the light passes through evenly with no depth to it. It also ages differently: sitting close to a warm bulb, resin tends to amber and grow brittle within a few years.
THE ART OF ALABASTER
The natural texture of alabaster brings a warm, mineral quality to the space. (Please contact us if you require a specific texture.)
A pure white texture reminiscent of fresh snow—warm, smooth, and refined.
Deep, inky patterns flow across a white base.
A dynamic pattern resembling a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky.
Fine, intricate cracks evoking the aesthetic beauty of a sheet of ice at the moment it shatters.
A pattern as light and airy as falling snowflakes, with every single flake unique.
