Features of Alabaster Lighting Fixtures → → →

Nature's Gift

Every lamp is a singular piece of the earth

Alabaster is a natural mineral formed over thousands of years of geological sedimentation. The veining, hue, and translucency of every panel is unrepeatable. The flowing cloud patterns and delicate mineral fissures are nature's fingerprints—each lamp is not merely a lighting fixture, but an irreplicable work of natural art that belongs to no one else but you.

A Light That Breathes

Healing warmth, never harsh

What makes alabaster captivating is its exceptional ability to glow without revealing the source. It filters out the glare of raw light and transforms it into a warm, soft, and atmospheric ambiance. In an instant, the cold edges of a room dissolve—replaced by a quiet, healing presence that turns any space into a sanctuary.

The Touch of Craftsmanship

Hand-polished, never machine-made

Each raw stone is studied repeatedly by skilled artisans. From coarse to fine grit, it passes through multiple stages of hand-polishing until the surface reveals a matte, silken sheen. Every imperfection is intentional. Every curve is the trace of a craftsman's hand—evidence that this lamp was made, not manufactured.

An Heirloom of Time

Built to age, not to fade

Natural alabaster possesses remarkable durability and physical stability. It will not yellow under light, nor emit chemical odors. Its life force endures the test of time—unfazed by years. As decades pass, a subtle patina forms on the surface, deepening its character and making the stone feel even more grounded and refined.

Description

The Thalia Cleaved Stone Cluster Chandelier hangs flat slabs of alabaster on fine cables from a single brass plate, each one crossed on the diagonal by a slim brass bar. The stone is polished on its faces but the edges are left as they broke — irregular, stepped and slightly ragged, so every slab reads as a piece split from something larger rather than a shape cut to a drawing. The bar is where the light lives: a thin line of brightness running corner to corner, with the stone glowing softly on either side of it.

Slabs hang at staggered heights and different angles, so no two face you the same way — from a distance the cluster reads as a single mass, from beneath you look up through the gaps between them. Available from a compact three-light cluster to a nine-light installation, in brass with natural white alabaster, for a dining table, an entry, or a stairwell where a group of stone can be seen from more than one level.

Natural Alabaster

Naturally Unique Veining

No two pieces of stone are ever the same

Alabaster is a natural stone, so every piece carries its own veining and subtle variation in color. The fixture you receive may therefore differ slightly from the images shown.

An inherent characteristic of real stone — not a quality defect.

Made to order

Need More Heads? We'll Build Them.

The versions on this page go up to 9 MAX HEADS, which suits most rooms. It is not a limit. A cluster is simply more of the same cone on more of the same cord — so if your table is longer or your stairwell taller, tell us the count you want and we'll make it.

Arrangement

The Same Fixture, Three Ways to Hang It

Every cord shortens on its own during installation — so how the cluster finally looks is set in your room, not in our workshop.

Gathered

Cords kept short and close, the cones within a narrow band. The group reads as one vertical object rather than several separate lights.

→ Over a round table, a stair landing, or a small entry.

Spread

Cords angled outward and set to different lengths, so the cones scatter wider. The same number of shades covers far more ceiling — and more table.

→ Over a long table, an island, or an open-plan room.

Cascade

Each cord a step longer than the last, so the cones fall in a continuous diagonal. Built to be read from more than one floor at once.

→ Down a stairwell or a double-height entry.

Good to Know

Want it dimmable? Say so before you order

The LED is built into the fixture, so there is no bulb to buy or replace — and no bulb to swap for a dimmable one afterwards. Please contact us if you need a dimmable version.

Every cable shortens on its own

Cables arrive at 59″ per drop and each one adjusts independently, so you set the height of every slab in the room rather than accepting one from the factory.

Size Guide

Pick the Width, Then Pick the Drop

Unusually, these are two separate decisions here — the same spread comes at two depths, and the same depth comes at two widths.

The design

One Straight Line in a Room Full of Broken Ones

The stone was never asked to behave.

Split a block of alabaster and it does not give you a clean face. It gives you a stepped, layered edge that follows the seams the mineral was already carrying — the record of how that particular piece of rock was built, made visible in a second. No two splits are the same, and nobody decides where the line goes. The stone does.

The faces are polished until they pass light; the edges are left exactly as they broke. Which on its own would read as rustic — a slab of raw rock on a wire, handsome and a little unresolved.

That bar is the only straight line in the entire fixture, and it changes how you read everything around it. Beside something ruled and exact, the broken edge stops looking unfinished and starts looking deliberate — the way a rough stone in a plain metal setting reads as a jewel rather than a pebble. It is also where the light lives: a bright line running corner to corner, with the alabaster glowing quietly on either side of it. Not a lit shade. A drawn line, with stone around it.

Hung in a cluster, no two slabs face you the same way — different heights, different angles, and every outline its own. From across a room they close into a single mass of light. From directly beneath you look up through the gaps between them. The geometry repeats. The stone never does.

Questions, Answered

Common Questions

Why the edges are rough, where the light comes from, and which size to choose.

Which size should I choose?

Two separate decisions here, which is unusual. Match the width to the table — roughly half its width — then pick the drop your ceiling can carry.

19.7″ for a round table 36–48″ or an entry. 23.6″ for a dining table 48–60″. 31.5″ for 60–72″ — and this one comes at two depths, so a wide table under a normal ceiling and a stairwell void can both have it.

The deepest version is 78.7″ — six and a half feet of fixture — and needs about 13 ft of ceiling.

Can I dim it?

Yes, but you have to ask for it when you order. The LED is built into the fixture, so there's no bulb to swap for a dimmable one afterwards.

A dimmable version is available — tell us when you order.

Is there a bulb to replace?

No — the LED is built in, running at warm white 3000K.

How low should it hang?

Over a dining table, the lowest slab should sit 30–36″ above the tabletop. Anywhere people walk beneath it, keep 7 ft of clearance above the floor. Cables are 59″ each and adjust independently, so you set every height in the room — and if you need more for a stairwell, tell us your ceiling height when you order.

Should the slabs all hang at the same height?

No — and this matters more here than on most clusters. The slabs are meant to hang at different heights and different angles, so no two face you the same way.

Hang them all long first, stand back, then shorten one cable at a time. Set level and at matching angles, the cluster loses its whole effect — it stops looking arranged and starts looking like a grid.

Why don't the slabs all look the same?

Because they're cut from real quarried stone. Every slab has its own veining, its own broken outline, and some glow noticeably warmer than the ones beside them.

On a cluster hung side by side, that's the first thing you notice — and it's what tells you the stone is real. A set that matched perfectly would have to be moulded.

Will my ceiling hold it?

Stone weighs more than it looks, and every slab hangs from the same canopy. Before ordering, have your electrician confirm the ceiling box is rated for the weight and fixed into a joist rather than plasterboard alone — a standard box carries far less than most people assume. Ask us for the exact weight of your size and pass it on.

How do I clean it?

A soft dry cloth on both the stone and the brass. Keep water off the alabaster — it's porous, absorbs it, and leaves a mark that won't buff out.

Take particular care along the broken edges, which are more fragile than the polished faces. No sprays, no polish, nothing abrasive. Switch off and let it cool first.

Can I put it in a bathroom?

No — indoor dry rooms only, with no protection against water or steam. Alabaster is porous, so damp is bad for the stone as well as the wiring. Dining rooms, entries, stairwells and living rooms are all fine.

Built Right, Inside and Out

The beauty of a fixture is easy to photograph. What matters just as much is what sits inside the canopy—the driver, the bracket, the wiring, the hardware in the box. Here is how we build for safety and longevity, so the fixture you order arrives ready to install and made to last.

Install the driver, bracket and other components - Vidirlighting

01 · The Driver

An LED Driver Built to Last

We offer integrated LED drivers in a range of styles—dimmable, constant-current, and color-temperature-adjustable—so the fixture can be matched to how you actually light the room. It runs on 110–240V, works straight out of the box on standard US household power, and is rated for both dry and damp locations, so it fits wherever you'd like to install it.

02 · The Bracket

A Solid Mounting Bracket

Every fixture ships with a sturdy mounting bracket sized to a standard US junction box—so it hangs true and stays secure, year after year. No improvising, no trips to the hardware store.

03 · The Box

Everything You Need, in One Box

Open the carton and it's all there—canopy, mounting plate and bracket, screws and wall anchors, the driver, and a pair of clean cotton gloves for handling the glass. Nothing missing, nothing to source separately. It's the small stuff, packed with care, that makes installation day feel easy.

04 · The Wiring

Clean, Color-Coded Wiring

Clearly labeled leads and a tidy factory harness make professional installation quick and unambiguous. Hand it to your electrician and they'll have it up in minutes—standard L / N / E hardwiring, the way a considered fixture should be.

Order with confidence: what arrives at your door is a fixture built to be lived with—considered on the inside, finished on the outside. Wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician in line with local code.
