Arc Wall Sconce · Polished Brass · White Alabaster · G9
A curved brass arm extends from the wall plate and arcs outward, suspending a hand-carved white alabaster shade at its tip. The arc form is the defining element: the arm traces a clean geometric curve that reads as both structural and sculptural — a deliberate absence of straight lines in a fixture that is otherwise minimal. The alabaster shade diffuses the G9 source through the stone's own mineral structure, producing a warm, translucent glow that varies with the natural veining of each piece.
At 42 cm tall and 15 cm deep, the Flume sits close to the wall without projecting aggressively into the room. It reads as a sculptural detail when unlit and as a warm mineral accent when on — suited to bedrooms, hallways, and any wall where a single well-proportioned sconce is the intended focal point.
Dimensions
Each stone is unique. White alabaster carries natural veining, tonal variation, and translucency that differ from piece to piece. The shade you receive will not be identical to photographs — that individuality is 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 available in hardware stores are 12V low-voltage — using a 12V G9 bulb in this fixture will result in immediate failure. When sourcing replacement bulbs, purchase specifically G9 AC 110V rated LED capsules only.

FAQ
What makes alabaster different from frosted glass? +
Alabaster is a natural gypsum stone with a semi-translucent mineral structure — light passes through the stone itself rather than reflecting from a coated surface. The result is a glow that is warmer, more organic, and more variable than frosted glass: the light output changes subtly with the veining of each individual piece, creating a living quality that manufactured diffusers cannot replicate. White alabaster specifically transmits light with a warm cream tone even under a neutral bulb color temperature.
What bulb should I use — and why does voltage matter? +
This fixture uses a G9 socket rated for AC 110V mains voltage. This is not the standard 12V low-voltage G9 system — using a 12V G9 bulb will cause immediate failure. Source specifically G9 AC 110V LED capsules from a lighting specialist. For the alabaster shade, a 2–4W G9 LED at 2700K warm white works best: the warm tone enhances the stone's natural cream and produces a softer, more flattering glow. Bulbs are not included.
Can two be paired flanking a headboard or mirror? +
Yes — the Flume is well-suited to symmetrical pairing. For a headboard installation, position the wall plate of each sconce 50–65 cm from center on each side, at a height where the alabaster shade sits at approximately eye level when seated (roughly 100–120 cm from the floor). For flanking a mirror or artwork, position each sconce 30–40 cm from the frame edge. Both fixtures require hardwired connections, so plan wiring positions before installation.
Is it dimmable? +
The fixture itself is passive — dimming depends on the bulb and wall dimmer combination. Use a dimmable G9 AC 110V LED capsule and a compatible TRIAC wall dimmer switch (both sold separately). Confirm the dimmer is rated for LED loads. Dimming alabaster sconces to 40–60% typically produces the warmest, most atmospheric effect — the stone's translucency becomes more pronounced at lower light levels.
Product features
Product features
- Hand-finished in natural materials — alabaster, marble, brass, and blown glass — so slight variation in veining, grain, or patina between pieces is normal and expected.
- Hardwired or plug-in per listing; check the individual product page for the exact wiring type and included cord length.
- Compatible with standard dimmer switches unless the listing notes otherwise.
- Bulb base type (e.g. E12, E26) is listed on each product page; bulbs are not included unless stated.
- Select pieces are made to order — see the product page for current lead time before ordering.
Materials and care
Materials and care
- Alabaster, marble & stone: dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water and household cleaners — they can etch or stain natural stone.
- Brass & metal finishes: wipe with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which will strip the patina.
- Fabric shades: spot clean only with a dry cloth.
- Glass: apply a mild glass cleaner to a soft cloth, not directly to the fixture.
- Always turn off and let the fixture cool before cleaning.
- Keep fixtures away from direct moisture unless the listing specifies it's rated for outdoor or wet locations.
Styling tips
Styling tips
- Wall sconces: mount at 60–66″ from the floor to the center of the fixture; space paired sconces 24–30″ apart.
- Pendants: hang 30–36″ above a table or counter surface, adjusting for ceiling height.
- Chandeliers: as a general sizing guide, allow roughly 2.5–3″ of fixture width for every foot of room width.
- Warmer bulb temperatures (2700K–3000K) bring out the tone in natural materials like alabaster and brass.
- Pairing with a dimmer switch gives you more control over ambiance in living and dining spaces.
