The Anvers came from a gallery detail: the brass picture lights that lean over old oil paintings, doing their work without asking to be looked at. We kept the horizontal gesture and the brass, then swapped the metal hood for a solid bar of alabaster — a stone that has been carved into lamps and window panes since antiquity precisely because it passes light. Honed rather than polished, the surface stays matte until the bulbs come on, at which point the whole bar warms from inside.
Key Features
Honed Alabaster Bar
A honed alabaster cylinder that reads matte unlit and glows warm from within when on — veining and tone vary with the stone.
Brass Backplate & End Caps
A round brass backplate centers the bar on the wall, with brass end caps closing each end.
Two Bulbs, Even Warm Glow
Two sockets light the bar from inside, so the stone glows evenly end to end. Warm E14 LED bulbs included — note E14, not US E12.
Size & Fit
Measurement
Value
Width
18.1″ (46 cm)
Height
4.7″ (12 cm)
One size, mounted horizontally. Over a framed piece, the bar looks right at about half to two-thirds the frame’s width, so 18.1″ suits art roughly 27–36″ (70–90 cm) wide; set it a few inches above the top of the frame. Over a mirror or as a vanity bar, center it on the mirror and mount around 75–80″ (190–205 cm) from the floor so the light falls onto the face rather than into the eyes.
Honed natural alabaster bar + brass backplate and end caps · veining, tone, and translucency vary per piece
Light Source
2 × E14 · warm 2700–3000K LED bulbs included and replaceable · E14 is the European small screw base, not the US E12 candelabra — replace with E14 or use an E14-to-E12 adapter
Mounting
Hardwired to a standard wall junction box via the brass backplate · licensed electrician recommended · AC 110–240V
Care
Alabaster is porous — dust dry with a soft cloth, never water or cleaners · wipe brass with a dry cloth · indoor dry locations only, not a bathroom with shower steam
Over artwork or a mirror, hallway, bedroom, living room, dry-area vanity or powder room · accent and picture light, not a room’s main source

FAQ
What bulbs does it take — and will US bulbs fit?
It takes 2 × E14, and warm 2700–3000K E14 LED bulbs are included and replaceable. Note that E14 is the European small Edison screw and is not the same as the US E12 candelabra base — a US E12 bulb will not thread in. Buy E14 replacements, or fit an E14-to-E12 adapter.
How bright is it?
Two bulbs behind alabaster give a soft warm accent glow — right for lighting a painting or a mirror, not enough to light a whole room. Layer it with overhead or lamp light for general illumination.
Can it go in a bathroom, and how do I clean the stone?
A powder room or dry-area vanity is fine, but not a full bathroom where shower steam reaches it, and not outdoors — alabaster is porous and not damp-rated. Clean it dry only: dust with a soft cloth and never use water or cleaners, which can stain or etch the stone. Brass takes a dry cloth.
How is it installed?
It hardwires to a standard wall junction box through the round brass backplate and mounts horizontally, so a licensed electrician is recommended. Handle the alabaster gently while mounting — it is stone, and the bar is the fragile part.
