The piece

Italian-Style Marble · Brass Cartouche · Art Deco Archway Sconce

A wall sconce in the language of 1920s American Art Deco architecture — a tall arched-niche silhouette hand-cut from a single block of natural marble, with a smaller arched brass cartouche set into the face. Light spills from a concealed integrated LED at the base of the cartouche, washing upward to silhouette the brass plate against the glowing marble behind it.

The arched-niche form references the monumental lobby and theater sconces of early 20th-century American Art Deco architecture — marble or stone arches framing brass or bronze plate work. Each marble slab is hand-cut and unique: choose Calacatta Viola–style (Purple) for dramatic violet-and-cream veining as pictured, or Statuario-style (White) for a quieter pale-stone register. Suited to entry foyers, primary bedrooms, hallway pairs, dressing rooms, and gallery walls in modern Art Deco, contemporary, and Italian-inspired interiors.

Hand-cut natural marble. Each archway is cut and polished from a single block of Italian-style marble — natural veining patterns, color saturation, and translucency vary piece to piece. The piece pictured is representative; your exact veining will differ. Default integrated LED is warm white (3000K), non-dimmable. TRIAC-dimmable versions and other color temperatures (4000K neutral, 5000K daylight) are available on request — please contact us before ordering. Custom builds may affect lead time.

Installation

Hardwires to a standard wall junction box — professional installation recommended.
Concealed mounting plate sits behind the marble; verify wall outlet position before drilling.
Heavy stone fixture: the marble slab adds weight beyond a standard sconce. Use heavy-duty wall anchors rated for at least 5 kg, especially on drywall.
Install at 60–66″ above finished floor for hallway and bedside use; for entry-foyer or gallery installations, position to align with the surrounding artwork or panel rhythm rather than at standard sconce height.
For flanking pairs, space evenly to either side of a console table, mirror, or doorway.
No bulbs to install — integrated LED is built in and pre-wired.
Indoor only · clean marble with a soft dry cloth or barely damp cloth; avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners which etch natural stone.

FAQ

What height should I install it at? +

For hallways and bedside walls, 60–66″ from finished floor to the center of the sconce works well. For entry foyers and gallery walls, position the sconce to align with surrounding artwork or panel rhythm rather than at standard sconce height. For flanking pairs, space evenly on either side of a console, mirror, or doorway.

Will my marble look exactly like the photo? +

No — and that's the point. Each archway is hand-cut from a fresh block of natural marble, so veining patterns, color depth, and the location of dark and light bands shift from piece to piece. The photo shows representative character; your sconce will be uniquely yours. We can occasionally accommodate dramatic / quieter veining preferences — please contact us before ordering.

Is the Archway Marble dimmable? +

The default integrated LED is non-dimmable warm white (3000K). A TRIAC-dimmable version is available as a custom build — pair with a standard TRIAC wall dimmer for smooth brightness control. Please contact us before ordering and specify "TRIAC-dimmable" so we ship the right variant. Custom builds may extend lead time.

Can I get a different color temperature? +

The standard light is warm white 3000K — best for residential and hospitality spaces, and most flattering for the marble's natural tone and the brass cartouche. If you need neutral white (4000K) or daylight (5000K), please contact us before ordering — custom CT options are available on request.

What's the design language behind the archway? +

The arched-niche silhouette references 1920s American Art Deco architecture — the monumental lobby sconces and theater entries of that era used exactly this shape, with marble or stone arches framing brass or bronze plate work. The integrated cartouche pulls the same vocabulary into a residential-scale wall fixture.

Can I install it in a bathroom? +

The Archway suits powder rooms and bath vanities away from direct shower spray. Avoid placing it directly above a shower or tub where steam and water make sustained contact — natural marble can etch when exposed to acidic moisture and humidity over time. For wet-zone installations, please contact us.

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.
