Porta Alabaster Sconce in Brushed Brass
The ancient Etruscans used alabaster for its beautiful coloration, natural veining, and luminous effects when held up to the light. This one-of-a-kind Italian alabaster dome, skillfully turned by master artisans, celebrates centuries-old traditional Italian stone-carving methods. Bridging past and present.
Much like marble, our alabaster undergoes millions of years of formation in the hills of Northern Italy and it's the very nature of the stone that shapes its pattern. This pattern is only revealed through a traditional hand-carving process that dates back to 1895.
Distinguished Italian sculptors like Michelangelo utilized alabaster to highlight the mineral’s translucent quality that emits a warm glow when illuminated.
Available in two sizes, the Porta collection can be mounted on the wall or ceiling, distributing light in all directions, creating a soft illumination.
The elegant scale allows the Porta alabaster wall sconce to stand alone or to be grouped together on a wall or ceiling, serving as primary or secondary light sources down a long hallway or as a jewel-box powder room light.
The Porta collection is available in our signature rich black patina and brushed brass. Custom finishes or finish matching are available by request.
