Alabaster Chandeliers

Our alabaster chandeliers are worked from natural alabaster stone, with linear, ring, cluster and tiered forms paired to brushed brass, matt black and copper metalwork. Each shade carries its own veining, so the light reads with the stone's own character rather than the flat softness of frosted glass. Designer and luxury pieces for dining rooms, entrance halls, kitchen islands and stairwells. We ship to the UK, US and worldwide.

What is alabaster, and why it matters for a chandelier

Alabaster is a soft, slightly translucent stone that has been used in lighting for thousands of years. The variety used in modern lighting is gypsum alabaster: hand-cut from blocks, shaped into shades and discs, then polished to a finish that lets light pass through the mineral structure. Where frosted glass scatters light evenly and ceramic blocks it, alabaster transmits light through layers of natural veining, so the glow carries the stone's own pattern.

This matters for a chandelier more than for any other fixture type. A chandelier is the visual anchor of a room. Hung over a dining table or in an entrance hall, it stays in eye-line for everyone in the space, lit and unlit. Real alabaster gives that anchor genuine material character: warm cream tones, subtle grey veining, occasional darker mineral inclusions. Moulded resin, frosted glass and faux-alabaster polymer reproduce the shape but not the depth. The stone is the design feature, and authenticity is what separates a piece that reads as a feature from one that reads as decoration.

Our Niori alabaster chandelier range

We design and produce our alabaster chandelier range under our own brand, with 159 pieces spanning linear suspensions, ring chandeliers, cluster forms, tiered radial designs and circular orbs. Each shade is hand-cut from selected alabaster blocks, then paired with brushed brass, matt black, copper or polished metalwork. Prices sit in the designer and luxury tiers, with the range running from compact 3-light fixtures suited to smaller dining areas through to 10-light vertical suspensions built for double-height spaces.

The catalogue is built around three signature design families. The Selvara range covers horizontal and vertical linear suspensions and cluster chandeliers, leaning architectural and minimalist with matt black metalwork. The Aurevon range works in circular and ring forms, paired most often with soft white and copper finishes. The Elvaris range covers tiered radial designs in brushed brass, suited to traditional and transitional interiors. Across all three, the warm white LED or E14 light source is matched to the stone's natural tone, so the glow reads soft rather than cold.

We ship the full alabaster chandelier range to the UK, the US, Australia and worldwide. New pieces are added regularly, and trade and design professionals can request range overviews and project pricing directly.

Types of alabaster chandelier: linear, ring, cluster and tiered

Form follows room shape more than style. The four primary forms in our range each suit a different kind of space.

Linear chandeliers and linear suspensions are long, horizontal fixtures designed to sit above rectangular dining tables, kitchen islands and console runs. In the US these are sometimes searched for as an alabaster linear chandelier; the Selvara Horizontal Alabaster Linear Suspension is the typical example, with three or more shades spaced along a single matt black bar. Vertical linear suspensions invert the same idea for stairwells and double-height entrances, with shades cascading down a central drop.

Ring chandeliers and circular chandeliers are round, single-tier forms suited to square dining rooms, foyers and round entrance hall ceilings. The Aurevon 8 Light Circular Alabaster Chandelier sits in this category. Ring forms read more decorative than linear pieces and work particularly well in modern and contemporary interiors that need a sculptural focal point without traditional crystal weight.

Cluster chandeliers group multiple alabaster shades on staggered drops from a single mounting plate. The effect is more organic than a linear or ring form, with the cluster reading as a single sculptural mass. These work well in living rooms, larger entrance halls and any space where the chandelier should feel composed rather than symmetrical.

Tiered and radial chandeliers arrange shades on two or more horizontal layers, with the upper tier smaller than the lower. The Elvaris LED 2 Tier Radial Alabaster Chandelier is the classic example. Tiered forms suit larger dining rooms, traditional interiors and any space where the ceiling height allows the piece to be read in full from below. Modern alabaster chandelier searches often surface tiered designs because the silhouette translates cleanly into contemporary materials.

Choosing the right size and drop for your room

Sizing a chandelier comes down to two measurements: the width of the fixture relative to the room or table below, and the drop from ceiling to the bottom of the piece.

For dining rooms, the standard rule is that the chandelier should be roughly half to two-thirds the width of the table. A 1.8m dining table works well with a fixture between 90cm and 120cm wide. The bottom of the chandelier should sit around 75cm to 90cm above the table surface, low enough to define the seating area but high enough to clear sightlines across the table. Linear suspensions are typically positioned so the fixture's length runs parallel to the table's length, centred along the midpoint.

For entrance halls and stairwells, the chandelier is read from multiple floors. A vertical linear suspension or tiered chandelier works best here, with the bottom of the piece sitting around 2.1m to 2.4m above the ground floor. In double-height spaces, the fixture can extend further down so it remains visible from the upper landing.

For living rooms and kitchen islands, the bottom of the chandelier should sit around 2m above the floor, or 75cm to 90cm above an island worktop. Our size bands run from small (30-50cm width) through large (50cm+) to extra-large, with light-count tags from 2-light through 10-plus-light to help match scale to space. If you are unsure, contact us directly with room dimensions and we can advise on the right fixture from the range.

Where alabaster chandeliers work best

An alabaster chandelier suits any room where the light source should read as warm and diffused rather than directional. The natural stone produces a soft ambient wash, which works particularly well in rooms used for relaxing, dining or entertaining.

Dining rooms are the most common placement. The chandelier defines the seating area and produces enough light for the table without overlighting the room. Our linear suspensions are tagged for dining room, kitchen and living room use specifically.

Entrance halls and hallways read alabaster well because the stone catches light from windows during the day and produces its own glow at night. A circular or tiered piece sits centred above the floor space; a vertical linear suspension works in stairwells and double-height entrances.

Living rooms benefit from a single feature chandelier or a cluster form positioned over a coffee table or seating arrangement. The diffused light suits evening use, and the warm tone of the stone pairs naturally with linen, wool and timber furniture.

Kitchen islands work well with linear suspensions, where the long horizontal form mirrors the island's footprint. For US readers searching loosely for alabaster lamps or alabaster light fixtures over an island, our linear suspension range is the closest match. Bedrooms can carry a smaller circular or cluster chandelier centred above the bed, paired with our alabaster wall lights at bedside for layered light.

Care and maintenance for alabaster chandeliers

Alabaster is durable but slightly porous, so it needs different handling to glass or ceramic. The shade is the part that needs care; the metalwork can be wiped down as you would any brushed brass or matt black finish.

For everyday dusting, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid feather dusters, which can leave fine scratches on the polished surface over time. For light marks and fingerprints, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with plain water, then dry the surface fully with a clean cloth. Avoid soap, alcohol-based cleaners, glass sprays and abrasive pads; these can erode the stone's natural finish.

For deeper marks, a small amount of pH-neutral stone cleaner applied with a soft cloth removes residue without affecting the alabaster surface. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry fully.

Before any cleaning, turn the chandelier off at the wall and allow the shades to cool fully. Alabaster heats slightly under integrated LED or E14 use; cleaning a warm shade with a damp cloth can mark the surface. We include care instructions with every chandelier, and if you are unsure how to handle a particular finish, contact us directly before applying anything to the stone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an alabaster chandelier made from?
An alabaster chandelier is made from natural alabaster stone, hand-cut and polished into shades or discs that allow light to pass through the mineral structure. Most modern alabaster chandeliers, including every piece in our range, use gypsum alabaster: a soft, slightly translucent natural stone, not moulded resin, faux-alabaster polymer or frosted glass. The metalwork frame is typically brushed brass, matt black, polished nickel or copper, paired with integrated LED or E14 light sources matched to the stone's warm tone.

How do you clean and maintain an alabaster chandelier?
For everyday care, dust the alabaster shades with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid feather dusters, which can scratch the polished surface over time. For light marks or fingerprints, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with plain water, then dry the surface fully. Avoid soap, alcohol-based cleaners, glass sprays and abrasive pads, which can erode the natural finish. For deeper marks, a pH-neutral stone cleaner applied with a soft cloth removes residue without damaging the stone. Always turn the chandelier off and allow the shades to cool fully before cleaning. We include detailed care instructions with every piece.

Are alabaster chandeliers suitable for high ceilings and stairwells?
Yes. Vertical linear suspensions and tiered radial chandeliers are designed specifically for double-height spaces, stairwells and high-ceiling entrance halls. The Selvara 10 Light Vertical Alabaster Linear Suspension, for example, cascades shades down a central drop so the fixture remains visible from both ground floor and upper landing. For stairwells, the bottom of the chandelier typically sits around 2.1m to 2.4m above the lower floor, with the upper shades reading from the landing. Our extra-large size band covers pieces built for these spaces.

What size alabaster chandelier do I need for my dining room?
As a general rule, the chandelier should be roughly half to two-thirds the width of the dining table below. A 1.8m table works well with a fixture between 90cm and 120cm wide; a 2.4m table suits a 120cm to 160cm fixture. The bottom of the chandelier should sit around 75cm to 90cm above the table surface. For rectangular tables, a linear suspension run parallel to the table length works best; for round or square tables, a circular or ring chandelier centres the light. Our size bands run from small (30-50cm) through large (50cm+) to extra-large; contact us directly for guidance on a specific room.

What bulbs do alabaster chandeliers use?
Our alabaster chandelier range uses three main light sources. Integrated LED pieces, including most Selvara linear suspensions and the Elvaris tiered radial designs, have the LED built into the fixture and rated for long life with no bulb replacement during normal use. E14 fittings, used in pieces such as the Aurevon 8 Light Circular Alabaster Chandelier, take standard small Edison screw bulbs and let you choose your own warm white or soft white output. G9 fittings appear in some smaller chandeliers. Every piece in the range is matched to a warm white colour temperature to suit the stone's natural tone.
