With this Alcott Fluted Alabaster Column Wall Sconce, as light passes through the stone toward you, the angle of emission varies across the curved surface: the area directly facing you is the brightest, while the light transitions smoothly toward the edges.

The drum is also ribbed down its full length, which does something a smooth curve cannot. Alabaster is translucent — light travels through the body of the stone — and fluting varies its thickness: thinner along each crest, thicker in each groove. Thin stone passes more light. So the curve is not only shaded but banded, bright lines running the full height with deeper tone between them.

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.

Good to Know

Want it dimmable? Say so before you order

The standard fixture runs from a normal wall switch. A dimmable version is made to order, and because the LED is integrated it has to be built that way — it cannot be converted afterwards by changing a bulb or a switch. Tell us before you order and we will build it dimmable and confirm which dimmer to use.

Size Guide

Same Width. Three Times the Height.

The Stone

Want a particular veining?

Every plate is different, so the one that arrives won't match these photographs exactly. That is what real stone does.

If you want it paler and more even, or with more grey movement, or warmer in tone — tell us before you order and we'll select the stone to suit. Send a photo of your room and we'll pick something that sits with it.

What we can't do is copy a picture. We can choose a direction, not reproduce a pattern. Email support@vidirlighting.com

The design

Two Decisions, and Both Change the Light

A curve instead of a plane. Ribs instead of a smooth face.

Almost every stone sconce is a flat plate mounted on a wall — one plane, lit evenly from behind. It works, and it is also the reason so many of them read as a bright rectangle rather than as an object. Curving the face changes that on its own. Light leaving a half-round reaches you at a different angle from every point along it: brightest where the stone faces you directly, softening steadily toward each edge. The piece shades itself.

Then the second decision. Alabaster is translucent — light travels through the body of the stone rather than escaping around it — and ribbing the drum varies how much stone that light has to cross. Thinner along each crest, thicker in every groove, and thin stone passes more. So the curve is not only shaded but banded: bright lines running its full height, deeper tone between them. Two effects layered on one surface, and neither of them costs anything at the switch.

The stone itself was settled underground long before anyone cut it — a slow drift of warm veining that no two pieces repeat. On the single drum that is a quiet detail. On the Column, six drums stacked on one wall, it is the first thing you notice: six different patterns, one above the other, with a slim ring holding a dark break between each so they never blur into a single tube.

— Curved, ribbed, and lit from the inside. —
Questions, Answered

Before You Order

Which size, what the stone does, and where it goes on the wall.

Single or Column — which do I need?

Both are 4.7″ wide, so it is not a size question — it is a wall-shape question.

Single (11″) for a bedside, a hallway, a pair beside a mirror. Column (33.7″) for a tall narrow wall or a stair. A sconce reads well at roughly a quarter to a third of the wall height, which puts the Column on an 8.5–11 ft wall. On a true double-height entry even the Column looks small — ask us and we'll build a longer one.

How do I know it's real stone and not resin?
Three checks on arrival. Weight — stone is noticeably heavier. Temperature — stone feels cool and stays cool; resin warms to your hand in seconds. Veining — real veining differs on every piece and runs through the material, so it looks different lit and unlit. Printed veining repeats and looks the same either way.
Will mine look like the photographs?
The shape will. The stone won't — every drum has its own veining. On the Column that is six different patterns on one wall, which is the point of real stone rather than a fault in it.
Why is the face curved instead of flat?
Because a flat panel can only glow evenly. A half-round shades itself — brightest where the stone faces you, softening toward each edge — so it reads as an object on the wall rather than a lit rectangle set into it.
And why is it fluted?
The ribs make the stone thinner at each crest and thicker in each groove, and thin stone passes more light. So the curve is banded as well as shaded — bright lines running its full height.
Is it bright enough to read by?

No, and that is worth being straight about. Light travels through the stone, so there is no hot spot anywhere — the appeal, and also the trade.

It gives ambient light, not task light. Beside a bed it is right for the last hour of the evening; if you read properly in bed, add a reading lamp.

How high do I mount it?

Single: centre at 60–66″ from the floor, or 48–52″ beside a bed.

Column: measured differently — start the bottom edge at 40–48″ and let the height run upward rather than centring it. A pair beside a mirror goes 28–40″ apart, 6–8″ clear of the edge.

Will my wall hold it?
Check before ordering, especially for the Column. Six stone drums on one plate pull outward, which is harder on a fixing than the same weight on a ceiling. Plasterboard with nothing behind it will not hold it — it needs a stud or a proper fixing. Ask us for the weight and give it to your electrician.
How do I clean it? Where can't it go?

A dry soft cloth only. Never anything damp. Alabaster is porous — water, sprays and polish soak in and leave marks that do not come out. Twice a year is plenty.

Not in a shower or above a bath — IP20, no water protection. On a vanity wall it is fine.

Hand-finished in stone
The alabaster edit

The Vidir lighting edit

The only shade that glows from inside.

Most shades block light and let it out at the edges. Yet, this stone-textured lampshade manages to achieve exactly that.

01

Translucent properties

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.

02

Naturally formed

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.

03

Durable and long-lasting

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

Stone Light Fixtures

Natural stone is different from metal or glass. Understanding these points before you buy ensures there won't be any surprises after installation.
01

Light Color Defines the Look

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.

02

Clean Only with a Dry Cloth

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.

03

It is heavier than it looks.

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.

Limitations of resin

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.
