Spanish Alabaster Bowl · Aged Brass Frame · Uplight Pendant
An inverted-bowl ceiling pendant in the language of 1930s Art Deco lighting — a wide shallow alabaster bowl suspended from four slender brass tie-rods that meet at a small central canopy. The bowl is hand-cut from a single block of Spanish alabaster, with six bulbs concealed inside, casting an ambient uplight wash through the stone and onto the ceiling.
The brass frame is hand-aged with a vintage finish — deeper at the recessed seam where the bowl meets the rim, brighter on the polished tie-rods. The result is a fixture that reads like a glowing alabaster vessel rather than a chandelier with visible bulbs. Suited to hallways, living rooms, foyers, primary bedrooms, and lower-ceiling spaces where a flush-mount feel is wanted without sacrificing presence — equally at home in residential and hospitality interiors.

Features
Hand-Cut Alabaster Bowl
Solid Spanish alabaster bowl, hand-cut from a single block of Aragón stone — unique veining in every piece.
Aged Brass Frame
Vintage-finish brass tie-rods and rim with deeper recesses for hand-aged Art Deco character.
Concealed Uplight
Six bulbs hidden inside the bowl wash light upward through the stone — no visible glare.
Hand-cut natural Spanish alabaster. Each bowl is cut and polished from a single block of Aragón alabaster — natural cloud veining, color depth, and translucency vary piece to piece. The bowl you receive will be uniquely yours. The aged-brass frame is hand-finished, so subtle variation in patina depth between pieces is expected.

FAQ
What size room does the Dionne suit? +
At ∅ 16.5″ × H 16.5″, it's well-scaled for hallways and corridors of 6–10 m², primary bedrooms and living rooms of 14–22 m², and entry foyers up to 18 m². The semi-flush profile (only 51 cm / 20″ total drop) makes it especially good for ceilings of 8–9 ft where a deeper chandelier would feel too low.
Why does each alabaster bowl look slightly different? +
The alabaster is quarried in Aragón, Spain and hand-cut from natural blocks. The cloud-like veining, color depth, and translucency are properties of the natural stone — no two bowls are identical. This is the character of the material, not a flaw, and one of the reasons alabaster has been valued for ambient lighting since Roman times.
Is the Dionne dimmable? +
Yes, with the right bulb. Each socket takes an E26 (US) or E27 (EU) screw-base bulb. Install dimmable LED bulbs on a TRIAC wall dimmer and the pendant dims smoothly. Warm white 2700K–3000K is recommended to flatter the alabaster glow.
What kind of light does it cast? +
The six bulbs are concealed inside the bowl, so light washes upward through the alabaster onto the ceiling rather than projecting downward. The result is ambient indirect illumination — softer and more atmospheric than a downlight chandelier — with the bowl itself glowing as a secondary light source. Best paired with separate task lighting if you need direct workspace illumination.
Can I install it in a low-ceiling room? +
Yes — the Crestesco is essentially a semi-flush pendant. Total drop from canopy to bowl base is about 51 cm (20″), shorter than most chandeliers. It works comfortably in 8 ft ceilings (240 cm) and is well-suited to hallways and rooms where a longer drop would feel intrusive. The 30 cm suspension rod can also be shortened if needed.
What bulbs does it take? +
Six bulbs total, all E26 (US) or E27 (EU) screw-base. We recommend warm-white 2700K–3000K LED A19 or globe-shape bulbs at 40W incandescent equivalent each. Avoid daylight (5000K+) — it gives a clinical cast that clashes with the warm vintage brass and the natural cream of the alabaster.
Care & delivery
Looking after it
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.
Who makes it
This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.
We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.
Delivery
Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.
Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.
Returns
You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.
Damaged or faulty on arrival
Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.
Installation
Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.

Alabaster
Lighting cut from alabaster, a translucent stone that glows from within when lit rather than simply reflecting light off its surface.
