Description

The Taper Alabaster Wall Sconce holds a tall, tapering column of natural alabaster in a ribbed vintage brass cup, so the fixture reads like a lit taper candle set against the wall. The bulb sits low inside the stone, which means the glow is strongest where the stone meets the brass and softens as it rises, the same way a flame fades upward.

Every column is cut from quarried alabaster, so the grey and amber veining differs on each piece and shows most clearly once the light is on. The brass cup is turned in stepped rings that catch a highlight on every edge, finished with a small sphere and a stepped round backplate that keeps the profile slim on the wall.

It takes a single E12 candelabra bulb, sold separately. Choose warm white 2700K or 3000K; anything cooler turns alabaster grey and flattens the veining. It runs on 110V–220V. Hung in pairs, it frames a bed, a mirror or a fireplace; on its own, it lights a hotel-style hallway or a foyer entryway without taking floor or table space. It suits Hollywood Regency, Modern Regency and transitional interiors.

 

Natural Stone Variation

Every Column Is Its Own Piece

Each taper is turned from a single length of quarried alabaster, so the veining, the tone and the way the glow climbs the stone will not match these photographs — and in a pair, the two columns will not match each other. That is the material, not a flaw.

The Taper alabaster wall sconce lit against white, veining showing through the column above a vintage brass cup.

Ordering a Pair

Tapers read best in twos — either side of a bed, a mirror or a mantel. Set the quantity to 2 and note “pair” at checkout, and both columns are turned from stone selected at the same time, so the tone stays in one family. Order the second months later and the two will not agree.

Why This One

A Candle, Turned in Stone and Brass

A close view of the ribbed brass cup holding the lit alabaster column, the glow strongest just above the brass.

01

The Glow Starts at the Base

The bulb sits low inside the column, so the light is strongest just above the brass and softens as it rises — the way a flame fades upward rather than lighting evenly.

02

A Cup Turned in Stepped Rings

The brass cup is turned in tight stepped rings that each catch their own line of highlight, then closes on a small sphere that finishes the fixture like the foot of a candlestick.

03

Four Inches Off the Wall

At 4″ deep, the sconce sits almost flush. It can go in a hotel-style corridor or beside a door frame where anything deeper gets knocked on the way past.

04

Candle Proportions, Not a Box

At 23″ tall and 5″ wide, the shape is closer to a candlestick than a shade. It adds height to a wall without adding width, which is what a pair beside a bed needs.

Colour

2700K or 3000K

The bulb sits inside the stone, so an LED of around 4–6W gives the same glow as a 40W incandescent with far less heat.

Caring for alabaster and brass: dust the column and the cup with a dry, soft cloth. Alabaster is porous and the brass is finished, so never spray cleaner directly onto the fixture — water marks the stone permanently. Switch off at the wall and let the bulb cool before cleaning.

Find Your Fit

Tall and Slim, Like the Candle It Is Named For

The shape adds height to a wall without adding width — which is why it works in narrow places a round sconce cannot.

23″

overall height

Roughly the height of a tall candlestick and its holder combined.

5″

widest point

About the width of a hand, so it fits the strip of wall beside a door frame.

4″

projection

Almost flush — nothing to catch a shoulder in a corridor.

A dimension drawing of the Taper sconce at 23 inches tall, 5 inches wide and 4 inches deep.
Where to hang it Beside a bed, either side of a mirror or a fireplace, along a hotel-style hallway, or by a front door. Leave at least 10″ of clear wall either side so the column reads as an object.
Beside a bed A pair works best, set so the base of the stone sits just above head height when you are sitting up. Centres 36–42″ apart over a queen or king bed.
Flanking a mirror or mantel Line the tops of the columns up with the top third of the mirror or the artwork, and keep 6–10″ of air between each sconce and the frame.
In a corridor The 4″ projection means it can sit at standard sconce height without anyone brushing it. Space a run 6–8 ft apart.

Lit & Unlit

A Flame at Night, a Candlestick by Day

Switched on, the glow gathers at the base of the stone and fades as it climbs. Switched off, it is a pale column standing in brass.

The same sconce switched off, a pale alabaster column standing in its vintage brass cup against concrete.
Unlit
The sconce switched on against a concrete wall, warm light gathering at the base of the alabaster column.
Lit
Where the light sits Low in the column, just above the brass. The stone is brightest there and softens toward the top, so the fixture reads like a candle rather than a tube.
What you see Accent light, not task light. It lights the wall and the space around it; pair it with a reading lamp if you read in bed.
Bulb colour Stay at 2700K or 3000K, 40W or under. The bulb is bought separately, and a cool white one turns the same stone flat and grey.
Dimming With a dimmable E12 bulb and a compatible dimmer, turned low it reads almost exactly like candlelight.

Worth knowing before you place it: this sconce is in view all day. Against pale plaster the unlit column reads quiet; against dark paint or panelling the brass cup does the work.

Where It Goes

Beside Something Worth Framing

A taper does its best work in pairs, either side of a piece that already holds the room — artwork, a mantel, a bed. On its own, it replaces a lamp.

If You Are Hanging a Pair
Both boxes, one height On a tall slim column, half an inch of difference between two sconces shows from across the room. Set both junction boxes to the same mark.
Spacing a pair Leave 6–10″ between each sconce and the frame or mantel edge. Over a bed, centres 36–42″ apart.
One switch or two Over a sofa, a mantel or a console, one switch for the pair. Beside a bed, most people give each side its own.
Ordering two Order both at once so the columns are turned from stone selected together — tone stays in one family.

The Design

The Candle Stays. The Wax Goes.

For most of their history, wall sconces held candles. A brass cup, a taper standing in it, a plate on the wall behind — the shape was decided by what a flame needed, and it stayed long after the flame was gone.

The Taper keeps that shape and changes the material. The candle becomes a column of alabaster, and the light moves inside it. Because the bulb sits low in the stone, the glow is brightest just above the cup and fades as it climbs — which is exactly how a real flame lights the wax beneath it.

The cup is turned in stepped rings rather than left plain, a nod to the drip cups on old candlesticks, and finished with a small sphere where the fixture meets the wall.

A candle that never burns down.

Selecting Your Stone

We Can Steer the Stone. We Cannot Copy It.

Each column is turned from one length of quarried alabaster. The seams in that length were set long before it reached the lathe, so the piece that arrives will differ from every photograph here.

One place the choice matters more on this shape: the bulb sits low inside the stone, so any heavy veining near the base reads darkest once it is lit. If you want a cleaner glow, ask for a clearer base.

The rest of the variation is the reason to use stone at all.

Tell Us a Direction

Paler and more even along the length
Stronger grey movement
Warmer, amber-toned
A cleaner base, where the bulb sits and the veining reads darkest
Matched as closely as possible across a pair

Any of these we can work toward. A specific pattern from a photograph we cannot.

The Material

Stone, Not a Frosted Sleeve

Candle-style sconces are usually made with a glass, resin or acrylic tube. Here is what changes when the column is quarried alabaster.

  Natural Alabaster Glass · Resin · Acrylic
The glow Light passes through the stone, strongest at the base and softening up the column, with the veining showing in it. One flat, even tube of light from top to bottom — the same on every unit.
Switched off A pale stone column with visible depth. It reads as a candlestick, not as a light fitting. Reads as a shade waiting to be switched on.
One of a kind Turned from a single length of quarried stone, so no two columns match — not even across a pair. Moulded or blown, so the pattern repeats on every piece.
Weight and touch Dense and cool, with a faint grain you can feel under the finish. Light and thin; resin and acrylic in particular feel hollow.
Over the years Stone keeps its colour. A small mark can often be improved rather than replaced. Acrylic yellows near the heat of a bulb; resin dulls with every cleaning.

The short version: a frosted sleeve can copy the outline of a candle. It cannot copy what light does inside a piece of stone.

Before You Order

The Box Sits Low. The Light Rises.

The backplate sits near the bottom of the fixture and most of the stone rises above it — so measure the junction box to where you want the base of the glow, not the top.

Bedside Elevation

Room, nightstand and figure shown for reference only.

Box At Where Why
66″ Hallway, entry, living room wall The column rises well above eye level and lights the wall rather than the face.
60–62″ Flanking a mirror or mantel Tops of the columns line up with the upper third of the frame.
54–56″ Beside a bed The glow sits just above head height when you are sitting up, as drawn above.
Under 50″ Too low The column ends up behind a lampshade or a headboard — move the box up.
Hanging a pair Both boxes at exactly the same height. On a tall slim column, a difference of half an inch is obvious from across the room.
The bulb One E12 candelabra bulb, bought separately — 40W maximum, LED recommended. Fit it before the column goes on, and stay at 2700K or 3000K.
Wall type Standard anchors into a stud or a rated box are enough — the fixture is slim, but stone still weighs more than a fabric shade.

Care & Cleaning

Dry Cloth, Base to Tip

Do

Switch off at the wall and let the bulb cool first.
Dust the column with a dry, soft cloth, one pass from base to tip.
Wipe the brass cup along the rings, not across them.
Check the backplate screws once a year.

Don’t

No water, glass cleaner, vinegar or alcohol on the stone.
Never spray at the fixture — liquid runs down into the cup and the socket.
No metal polish on the brass; it strips the vintage finish.
Don't lever the column sideways in the cup to straighten it.
The column Dry dusting only. The stone absorbs liquid, so a water mark sits in the surface rather than wiping away.
The brass cup The rings trap dust in their steps. A soft brush along each ring does more than a cloth.
Changing the bulb Power off and let it cool. Support the stone with one hand while you reach the E12 bulb, and replace it with a warm white 2700K or 3000K LED, 40W or under.
Bathrooms Dry locations only — fine beside a vanity in a ventilated room, not where it takes direct steam.

If something happens to the stone: a chip or a fresh mark on alabaster is often improvable, but the fix depends on where it is. Send us a photo before you try anything.

Questions, Answered

Alabaster Taper Sconce FAQ

Is a bulb included?
No. It takes one E12 candelabra bulb, sold separately.
What wattage can it take?
40W maximum. An E12 LED of around 4–6W gives the same light with far less heat inside the stone.
Which bulb should I buy?
A warm white E12 LED at 2700K or 3000K, 40W or under. Anything cooler turns the alabaster grey.
Is the stone real alabaster?
Yes — natural alabaster turned from a single length of stone, so the veining differs on every column.
How big is it?
23″ tall, 5″ wide and 4″ deep (58 × 13 × 10 cm) — slim enough for a corridor or beside a door.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, with a dimmable E12 bulb and a compatible wall dimmer.
Will a pair match?
They will read as a pair, but alabaster is quarried, not printed. Order both at once so the columns come from stone selected together.
Can it go in a bathroom?
Beside a vanity in a dry, ventilated room, yes. Keep it away from direct steam and the shower zone.
