Inspiration
The Clasten Alabaster Wall Sconce reduces a sconce to two elements: a column of stone and the plate that holds it. Alabaster has been used this way since antiquity — thin enough to pass light, dense enough to soften it — and cutting it as a plain cylinder leaves nothing between the material and the eye. The brass backplate is kept to a flat rectangle for the same reason. No shade, no diffuser, no visible fitting; the stone is the fixture.
Key Features
Hand-Cut Alabaster Cylinder
Cut from a single block of natural gypsum stone into a vertical cylinder — no two pieces alike.
Solid Brass Backplate
A clean vertical rectangle in warm gold-tone — minimal hardware, so the stone leads visually.
Even Glow, No Hotspots
Light passes through the translucent stone rather than around it, so the whole column lights evenly.
Available Sizes
Two sizes — same 3.1″ (8 cm) cylinder width, same alabaster, brass backplate and socket; only the height changes.
| Size | Inches | Centimeters | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact | W 3.1″ × H 11″ | W 8 × H 28 cm | Bedside, narrow hallway, powder room |
| Tall | W 3.1″ × H 12.6″ | W 8 × H 32 cm | Vanity mirror, foyer, feature wall |
At a vanity, mount the center of the fixture 60–66″ (150–170 cm) above the floor; elsewhere, align it with adjacent art or mirror heights. For hand-matched pairs, .

FAQ
What is G9, and where do I buy replacement bulbs?
G9 is a small bi-pin base — two short prongs instead of a screw thread, smaller than the standard US E26. G9 LED bulbs are stocked on Amazon, at Home Depot and Lowe’s, and by Lumens and Bulbrite; search „G9 LED bulb“ or „G9 bi-pin LED.“ A bulb is included and fully replaceable. Use LED only, max 7W, 3000K — do not use halogen, which runs hot inside the cylinder and can cause heat-stress cracking or discoloration over time.
Will my alabaster cylinder look exactly like the photo?
No, and that’s the material. Each cylinder is cut from a single block, so veining, tone (some read warmer honey, others cooler cream) and translucency vary piece to piece — the listing photo is representative, not a guaranteed match. For pairs that need to match closely, and we’ll hand-select, pulling two cylinders from the same block where possible.
Can I use it in a bathroom, and how do I clean alabaster?
A powder room with no shower is fine, as is a vanity mirror in the dry zone of a larger bathroom, well away from shower steam. A full bathroom with shower steam is not recommended — alabaster is porous, and repeated humidity cycles cause staining and surface degradation. Outdoors, no. Clean with a dry microfiber cloth only: no water, vinegar, alcohol or household cleaners.
How is it installed?
It’s hardwired to a standard wall junction box — the brass backplate fixes to the box and the alabaster cylinder slides onto the socket housing. A licensed electrician is recommended, partly because the stone is moderately fragile and chips if dropped. Confirm the junction box sits where you want the center of the fixture before drilling new holes.
