{"product_id":"md14-spanish-marble-ceiling-wall-lamp-sconces","title":"MD14 Spanish Alabaster Wall Sconce","description":"\u003cp\u003eTurn the MD14 on in a dim hallway and the stone itself seems to take a breath. Light doesn't pass through the alabaster shade so much as get held by it, spreading into a soft amber wash that has none of the flatness of a frosted glass diffuser. At 5.5 inches across, this is a small-scale fixture, the kind that earns its keep in a stairwell landing, above a bathroom vanity, or spaced in a row along a narrow entry wall where a larger pendant would feel like too much. Because the built-in LED beads sit close behind the stone, there's no visible bulb to shield or angle correctly, which makes the MD14 forgiving to install and easy to live with day to day. It reads as quiet during the day, when the alabaster looks like plain pale stone against the wall, and then shifts into something closer to a lit lantern once evening comes and the beads switch on. That transformation, more than any single spec, is the reason people keep coming back to alabaster fixtures generation after generation: the material does something no manufactured diffuser can fully replicate, because it was never engineered to look a certain way in the first place, it simply is that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shade is cut and shaped from natural alabaster quarried in Spain, which is where the coloring and grain variation actually come from rather than any dye or print process. Each block of stone carries its own mineral veining, so while every MD14 is finished into a close approximation of a circle, no two lampshades match exactly, even within the same production run. Artisans hand-form the stone toward that circular profile, leaving faint irregularities at the edge that are part of the piece rather than a flaw to sand away. Underneath, a metal base anchors the shade to the wall or ceiling plate and houses the built-in LED, so there's no separate bulb to source, replace, or worry about compatibility with down the line. The fixture measures 5.5 inches in diameter, small enough to sit close to a doorframe or stack in pairs flanking a mirror without crowding the wall. Because alabaster is translucent rather than transparent, the stone's internal structure, its faint striations and cloud-like density shifts, become visible only once light is behind it, which is part of what makes this piece feel more like a geological specimen than a standard lighting product. Alabaster has been used this way for centuries precisely because of that translucency, and the MD14 keeps the tradition intact rather than substituting a synthetic look-alike, which is part of why the stone feels genuinely different from a resin or acrylic shade of similar shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe carry the MD14 at Monvera Space because it's one of the clearest examples of what happens when a material is left to do the work instead of a finish or a shape. It's a sconce for people who'd rather their lighting have a bit of unpredictability built in, the same way a raw wood grain or a hand-thrown ceramic glaze does. Try it in a cluster of three along a hallway for rhythm, or as a single fixture beside a reading chair where its warmth won't compete with a lamp on the side table. It also pairs naturally with darker paint colors, walnut trim, or plaster walls, since the stone's pale tone gives those materials something to contrast against. Because the piece is compact, it works equally well mounted flush to the ceiling or projected off a wall, so measure your space and decide which orientation suits the room before installing. Whichever way you mount it, expect it to look different at 7am and at 9pm, and to age well as the stone gently develops a patina over years of light passing through it. Give the piece a season or two before judging its full character, since alabaster tends to reveal more of its natural variation once it's been lived with under regular daily light cycles rather than viewed only under showroom conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 5.5\" (14 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulb: Built-in LED lamp beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLampshade material: Spanish alabaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase material: metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Spanish Marble Lighting Customized Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Moku Park","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893245161716,"sku":"LD-HL-SC-A3-Marble D14","price":205.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/6316\/6452\/files\/hf_20260812_052347_8a1071c5-cf7c-4c80-a387-7f7f1e5d8ac5.png?v=1786512457","url":"https:\/\/monveraspace.com\/products\/md14-spanish-marble-ceiling-wall-lamp-sconces","provider":"Monvera Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
