Brass Wall Sconce with Alabaster Shade: Bedroom & Bathroom Guide
A brass wall sconce with an alabaster shade is a hardwired indoor wall light that pairs an antique brass body with a genuine alabaster shade to cast soft, diffused light. The Brindisi Wall Sconce is designed for bedrooms, bathroom mirrors, living and dining rooms, and hospitality spaces — anywhere you want warm, layered light instead of one flat overhead fixture.
If you're upgrading a dated builder-grade sconce, adding reading light beside a bed, or framing a vanity mirror, this guide covers the design, the specs, sizing and placement, and the bulb and install details so you can judge the fit before you buy.

Design and materials
The Brindisi features a distinctive arm with a disc-shaped perch that supports a tall, slim canister shade. The body is constructed from metal with an antique brass finish, and the shade is white alabaster.
Because alabaster is a natural stone, every shade carries its own veining and coloration — no two fixtures are identical. If you're installing a matched pair for symmetry, expect subtle natural variation between the two shades rather than perfectly uniform patterns.
It's available as a set of two, and the body comes in Brass or Black, so you can coordinate with existing door hardware, cabinet pulls, or faucets in the room.
Where it works best
Bedrooms and bedside reading
A wall sconce frees up the nightstand and puts light exactly where you read. Mount it on either side of the bed, or one centered over a headboard for a symmetrical anchor. As a rule of thumb, position the sconce so the shade sits around eye level when you're seated, roughly 24–30 inches above the mattress top.
Bathroom mirror and vanity
Since the fixture is rated IP20 for indoor use only, it belongs in dry, well-ventilated bathroom zones rather than directly in a shower or steam area. Flanking a mirror with sconces rather than relying on a single overhead light reduces shadows on the face — a common reason vanity lighting looks flat.
Living, dining rooms and hospitality
The sculptural silhouette and warm, opaque glow suit living rooms, dining areas, hotel rooms, and restaurant interiors where you want ambient accent light. Use them in pairs to frame artwork, a console, or a corridor.
Sizing and placement guide
Two sizes are available, so match the width to the surface you're lighting:
- Size A: W 12cm × H 48cm (4.7″ × 18.9″) — a narrower profile for tight spaces, narrow walls, and small bathrooms.
- Size B: W 24.5cm × H 48cm (9.6″ × 18.9″) — a wider arm that reaches further from the wall, useful over larger vanities and wide headboards.
Both share the same 48cm height. For a balanced pair, space them evenly from the centerline of the mirror or bed and keep the mounting height consistent on both sides. Because dimensions are manually measured, allow for slight variation.

Bulbs, color temperature and control
The fixture takes LED or Edison bulbs on an E14 base and runs on AC 110–240V. It's hardwired and controlled by a standard wall switch.
- Warmth: For bedrooms and dining rooms, a warm white around 2700K keeps the atmosphere relaxed; for a bathroom mirror where you check grooming details, a neutral 3000K–3500K reduces the orange cast.
- LED or Edison: LED runs cooler and lasts longer; Edison-style bulbs trade some efficiency for a visible filament look that suits the exposed canister shade.
- Output: The opaque alabaster shade diffuses light, so treat it as accent and ambient lighting rather than task light for whole-room brightness.
Installation notes
This is a hardwired, wall-mounted fixture, so plan for an existing wall box and switch, or budget for an electrician if you're adding a new circuit. Confirm the bulb base is E14 before ordering bulbs, and remember the IP20 rating means indoor, dry locations only.
