Wren Hanging Alabaster Sconce

This Wren Hanging Alabaster Sconce features a hanging design. A braided cord loops through a brass hook on the backplate and drops the shade below it, so the weight goes down the wall rather than out from it. The whole fixture sits close to the plaster, and the difference in a narrow hallway is the difference between a light you can have and one you cannot.

It also changes how it reads. A mounted sconce looks installed. A cord-hung one looks placed — closer to something you hung on a hook than something an electrician bolted on. The shade is alabaster, and stone this thin is translucent: light travels through the body of the material rather than escaping around its edges. The whole shade glows, veining and all, and there is no bright point anywhere on it to catch the eye as you walk past.

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.

Buying a Pair?

Select the size marked (*2) — two together come at a better price than buying them separately.

No Renders

These are photographs of the actual fixture, not computer images. Which is why you can see the cord knotted rather than drawn, and the stone with its own pattern rather than a repeated one.

Real Stone

Natural alabaster, not resin or moulded acrylic. Look at the second photograph: the veining runs through the material rather than sitting on the surface, which is why it looks different lit and unlit.

Yours Won't Match

Every shade is cut from a different piece of stone, so the one that arrives will not be the one photographed here. On a fixture this simple, that variation is the only ornament there is.

Good to Know

Want to dim it? Buy different bulbs

The included bulb does not support dimming. The fixture itself does not restrict dimming functionality—this depends on the bulb used. Brightness can be adjusted if a dimmable E26 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch are installed; however, if the standard bulb is used, dimming is not possible, regardless of the type of wall switch.

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

A Hook, a Cord, and a Stone

Three parts. Nothing else on the wall.

Almost every wall light is an arm — a rigid piece of metal reaching out from the wall to hold a shade in the air. It is the obvious solution, and it is why most sconces stand proud of the plaster whether the room has space for that or not.

This one does the opposite. A braided cord loops through a hook on the backplate and the shade simply hangs beneath it. The weight goes down the wall rather than out from it, and there is nothing rigid anywhere in the fixture — no bracket, no elbow, no arm. What holds it up is the same thing you would use to hang anything else: a hook, and something looped over it.

That changes how it reads as much as how it sits. A mounted sconce looks installed. This looks placed — closer to an object someone hung on a wall than a fitting an electrician bolted to one. The distinction is small and you feel it every time you walk past.

The shade is alabaster, and stone cut this thin is translucent: light travels through the body of the material rather than escaping around its edges. The whole shade glows, veining and all, with no bright point anywhere on it to catch your eye in passing. Look at the wall beside it and you can see the other half of what it does — a warm pool spilling sideways onto the plaster, because a shade that glows lights the wall it hangs against.

And the stone was settled underground long before anyone cut it. The one that arrives will not be the one in this photograph. On a fixture made of three parts, that is not a flaw in the finish. It is the only ornament there is.

— Hung, not mounted. —
Questions, Answered

Before You Order

How it hangs, what the stone does, and where it goes on the wall.

What makes this different from a normal wall sconce?

It hangs. Most sconces are a rigid arm holding a shade out into the room; here a braided cord loops through a hook and the shade drops below it.

So the weight goes down the wall rather than out from it, and there is nothing rigid anywhere in the fixture. It also reads differently — placed rather than installed.

How do I know it's real stone and not resin?
Three checks the day it arrives. 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.
How far does it stick out from the wall?

[__]″ — and it is worth measuring your space against it. As a rule, anything under about 4″ is comfortable in a corridor; past that people start catching a shoulder on it.

A cord-hung shade sits closer to the wall than a fixed arm of the same size, but the shade itself is 4.8″ across on the small and 6.5″ on the large, so check the number above against your hallway before ordering.

Small or large?
Both hold the same proportions — the large is the small scaled up about a third. Small (11.8″) is the one you hang more than one of: either side of a bed, spaced down a hallway. Large (16.3″) holds a wall on its own — a stair, an entry, beside a full-length mirror.
Does alabaster really glow?
Yes — that is the reason to choose it. The stone is translucent, so light travels through it and the whole shade lights up, veining included. It also throws a warm pool sideways onto the wall beside it, which is why one small fixture covers more wall than its size suggests.
Will mine look like the photograph?
The shape will. The stone won't — every shade has its own veining. On a fixture with this little else on it, that variation is the only ornament there is.
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.

Can the cord length be changed?
[__ CONFIRM WITH FACTORY. If the cord adjusts, say so plainly — it lets a customer set the drop to their headboard or their eye level, and no competing sconce offers it. If it is fixed, state the length so nobody assumes otherwise.]
How high do I mount it?

Beside a bed: centre at 48–52″ from the floor — roughly eye level sitting up, or level with the top of the headboard. It frees the whole nightstand.

Everywhere else: 60–66″. A pair beside a mirror goes 28–40″ apart, 6–8″ clear of the edge. In a hallway, one every 8–10 ft, all at the same height.

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.

The quiet glow of alabaster

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.
