Noctelis Alabaster Dome Table Lamp - Brushed Brass

The Noctelis is a 470mm alabaster table lamp built around a hemispherical dome shade cut from natural Spanish alabaster, supported on a polished brass cylindrical column rising from a circular brass disc base. A single E27 lamp socket sits inside the dome, with the alabaster itself acting as the diffuser when the bulb is lit. The shade measures 300mm in diameter and is held above the column on a slim brass collar that frames the lower edge of the stone.

Suited to bedside tables, console tables, sideboards and writing desks, the Noctelis works as a soft ambient source rather than directional task light. The dome shade casts light downward onto the surface around the base and outward through the stone itself, giving a low, even glow that pairs well with bedrooms, living rooms and hallway consoles. The 300mm diameter sits comfortably on tables 400mm deep or larger without crowding adjacent objects.

Each alabaster dome shows different mineral veining and grey tonal banding depending on the section of stone it was cut from, so no two shades look identical when lit. The polished brass column and disc base give the lamp a warm metallic weight that contrasts against the cool white of the stone, while the crisp horizontal joint between brass collar and alabaster dome keeps the two materials visually distinct. The fitting takes any standard E27 bulb up to the rating shown on the lamp holder (bulb sold separately).

What bulb does the Noctelis take?

The lamp accepts a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED between 6-9W and 2700K-3000K to enhance the natural warmth of the alabaster and brass.

Is the alabaster dome unique to each lamp?

Yes. Each dome is cut from natural Spanish alabaster, so the veining, grey banding and tonal variation differ between individual pieces. This is a feature of the natural stone rather than a defect, and the differences are most visible once the bulb is lit.

How tall is the lamp and where does it suit?

The Noctelis stands 470mm tall with a 300mm shade diameter. This proportion suits bedside tables, console tables and sideboards 400mm deep or larger, and works as ambient bedside or hallway lighting rather than directional reading light.

How is the alabaster cleaned?

Alabaster is porous and softer than marble. Wipe gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. For more stubborn marks use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water, but avoid soaking the stone and do not use household sprays, polishes or chemical cleaners.
