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.
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
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.

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.
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.


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.

Sofa WallPair
Either side of the artwork, tops of the columns level with the top third of the frame.

FireplacePair
Symmetrical on the chimney breast, set in from the mantel ends.

BedsideOne per side
Just above head height when sitting up, on panelling or plaster.

Window NookSingle
Above a side table, where a lamp would take the surface.
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.
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.

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. |
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.
