Wall Sconce · Copper-Finish Steel · Spanish Alabaster Dome · G9 · 2 Sizes
A U-shaped copper-finish steel bracket holds a dome of
white Spanish alabaster in a defined negative space —
the bracket cradles the stone without enclosing it, so the wall behind is visible
through the open arch. Spanish alabaster is a fine-grained gypsum stone of high
purity: nearly translucent, with a soft internal milkiness that sets it apart from
denser marble varieties. When the G9 source activates, the dome transmits light
through its own mineral structure, illuminating the stone's natural veining from
within rather than reflecting from a surface.
The U-bracket is hand-finished in a warm copper tone — a reddish-brown
metallic that reads as warm against the pale stone and complements the alabaster's
natural cream-to-white variation. Two sizes — a compact 27 cm and a standard
38 cm — suit different wall heights and spacing requirements. Both sizes share
the same 10 cm depth, sitting close to the wall surface.

Primary bedrooms, feature walls, living room accents, and flanking a wide headboard. More presence on taller walls.
Each stone is unique. Spanish alabaster is a natural material
with individual veining, tonal variation, and translucency in every piece. The dome
you receive will not be identical to photographs — slight differences in vein
patterning and cream-to-white variation are intrinsic to the stone, not a defect.
G9 socket — confirm bulb voltage before purchasing. This
fixture uses a G9 bi-pin socket rated for AC 110V mains voltage.
Most G9 bulbs sold in hardware stores are 12V low-voltage — using a 12V
G9 bulb in this fixture will result in immediate failure. When sourcing bulbs,
purchase specifically G9 AC 110V rated LED capsules. Do not use
standard G4 or G9 12V halogen or LED capsules.

FAQ
What is Spanish alabaster? +
Spanish alabaster is a fine-grained gypsum stone quarried primarily in Aragon,
Spain — one of the most important sources of decorative alabaster in Europe.
It is significantly more translucent than most marble varieties: light passes
through the stone rather than reflecting from its surface, illuminating the mineral
structure from within. The white variety is characterized by a clean, milky
translucency with subtle veining — warmer and more organic than frosted glass,
softer than polished marble.
Small or Large — which suits my space? +
The Small (H 27 cm) is well-proportioned for bedside use,
narrow hallways, and walls under 2.4 m. Installed in pairs flanking a headboard,
two Small lamps provide good bedside coverage without overpowering the wall.
The Large (H 38 cm) has more presence — better suited to
feature walls in living rooms, primary bedrooms with higher ceilings, and
installations where the lamp needs to be read from a greater distance. Both
share the same 10 cm wall projection, so ceiling clearance is not a differentiating
factor between the two.
What bulb should I use — and why does voltage matter? +
This fixture uses a G9 socket at AC 110V mains voltage —
not the 12V low-voltage G9 system common in European track and recessed fixtures.
When purchasing bulbs, you must specifically look for G9 AC 110V LED
capsules — a 12V G9 bulb will fail immediately in this fixture.
For the alabaster shade, a 2–4W G9 LED at 2700–3000K warm
white works best: warm white enhances the stone's natural cream tone
and produces a softer, more flattering glow through the alabaster than cool-white
sources.
Can two lamps be paired flanking a headboard? +
Yes — Bernina is designed for symmetrical pairing as well as single
installation. For a standard headboard (150–180 cm wide), two Small lamps
positioned 50–60 cm from the center on each side provide focused bedside
light with appropriate visual balance. For a wider or taller headboard (200 cm+),
the Large size creates better proportional weight. Both sizes are hardwired, so
plan wiring positions before installation — the backplate location determines
the final lamp position precisely.
