Walnut Backplate Wall Sconce for Bedside, Alabaster Disc

A globe of alabaster rests against a walnut-grained plate, held between two small dark-metal balls on a slim bar. Lit, the stone reads like a small moon set into the wood, warm and even rather than bright; unlit, it is a quiet cream disc with the grain running behind it. Take it round — 20 cm (7.9″) across — or oval, 12.5 cm (4.9″) wide and 27 cm (10.6″) tall. Either way it stands only 8 cm (3.1″) off the wall, so it clears a bedside table, a narrow hallway or the space beside a mirror without getting in the way.

What makes it work

• Natural alabaster diffuser — the stone spreads the LED into a soft, even light, and its veining belongs to your piece alone.
• Walnut-grained plate — warm brown against pale plaster or painted walls, as a round disc or a tall oval.
• 8 cm (3.1″) projection — shallow enough for a hallway or a bedside, where a deeper sconce catches a shoulder.

Before you buy

The LED is built in rather than lamped, so there is no bulb to buy and none to replace — you choose warm or cool white at checkout instead. It is a hardwired fitting, wired into a wall point rather than a plug and flex. And it is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms: not a bathroom, and not anywhere it will meet steam.

Fitting it

Beside a bed, a sconce is usually set 150 to 160 cm (59 to 63″) off the floor, or roughly 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8″) above the top of the mattress if you plan to read by it; flanking a mirror, work to eye level instead. The alabaster globe sits at the centre of the round version and low on the oval, so the oval throws its light further down the wall. Have an electrician make the connection if you'd rather not touch the wiring, or fit it yourself if you're comfortable with basic wall wiring — it's a straightforward job.

Frequently asked questions

Which size should I choose?
The round 20 cm (7.9″) disc suits a nightstand or a run of hallway wall. The oval stands 27 cm (10.6″) tall on a 12.5 cm (4.9″) width, so it holds a taller wall or a pair either side of a mirror. Both project the same 8 cm (3.1″).

Do I need to buy a bulb?
No. The LED is part of the fixture, which is why you pick warm or cool white when you order.

Can it go in a bathroom?
No — it is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms, away from steam and splashes.

Will the alabaster match the photographs?
In tone, yes. In pattern, no — every globe is cut from natural stone, so the veining is its own.
