The piece
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.

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.
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.
