Marveta Large Rounded Alabaster Table Lamp - Soft White & Brass

The Marveta is a 553mm alabaster table lamp built around a large rounded shade carved from a single block of natural Spanish alabaster, supported on a cylindrical brushed brass stem and grounded by a 255mm circular brass base. A single E27 lamp socket sits inside the stone shade, casting light through the alabaster so the stone itself becomes the diffuser rather than a glass or fabric cover.

The 553mm overall height suits console tables, wide sideboards and larger bedside tables where the rounded volume of the shade has room to read as a sculptural form rather than a slim bedside fitting. The 255mm shade diameter gives a substantial silhouette, so the Marveta works well as a single lamp on a hall console or paired symmetrically either side of a sofa or bed in rooms with generous proportions.

Each alabaster shade is cut from natural Spanish stone, with veining, density variation and subtle tonal shifts that differ from piece to piece. When the lamp is lit, those variations become visible through the translucent body, showing internal mineral structure that stays hidden when switched off. The brushed brass stem rises through the centre of the shade and the matching brass base mirrors the rounded geometry above, giving the fitting vertical structure without hard edges.

The Marveta carries a 2-year warranty and accepts any standard E27 bulb (sold separately), so the colour temperature and brightness can be matched to the room. A warm-white LED of around 2700K-3000K suits the natural tone of the stone and reinforces the soft glow through the alabaster body.

What bulb does the Marveta take?

The lamp uses a single E27 (Edison screw) bulb, sold separately. A warm-white LED between 2700K and 3000K, around 6-9W, suits the natural tone of the alabaster and gives a soft glow through the stone.

Is each alabaster shade unique?

Yes. The shade is cut from natural Spanish alabaster, so veining, density and tonal variation differ between individual pieces. These natural markings become more visible when the lamp is lit and are a feature of the material, not a defect.

Where does the Marveta work best?

At 553mm tall with a 255mm shade, it suits console tables, sideboards and larger bedside tables. It also pairs well as a matching set either side of a sofa or bed in rooms with enough surface depth for the rounded shade to sit comfortably.

How should the alabaster be cleaned?

Alabaster is porous and softer than marble. Wipe with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove dust. For marks, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water only. Avoid household sprays, polishes and chemical cleaners, which can stain or damage the stone.
