Balanced Globe Sconce
Balanced Globe Sconce
A striking wall sconce defined by pure geometry and contrasting textures. The fixture features a vertical, linear backplate of porous black travertine stone, providing dramatic textural contrast. Centred precisely on the bar is a large, luminous opal glass globe — a powerful focal point of light and form. Highly minimalist, ideal for hallways, framing doorways, or providing sophisticated diffused ambient light.
Black Travertine Bar
Vertical porous stone backplate — raw texture, dramatic presence on any wall.
Opal Glass Globe
Large luminous globe centred on the bar — soft, even, ambient diffusion.

11.8″, 25.9″, or 37.4″ — scale the fixture to your wall and space.
About the black travertine — genuine natural stone with a matte black surface finish
The backplate of this sconce is made from genuine travertine stone. To create a deep, even black aesthetic, the stone surface is finished with a matte black coating — rather than left in its natural off-white state. This is an intentional design choice: the weight, density, and natural pore structure of genuine travertine are preserved, while the surface colour is controlled. The entire stone presents a consistent matte black — this is exactly as it was designed to be.
Natural travertine — formed by geological processes
Travertine is formed in the natural environment through thousands of years of complex physical and chemical processes. Even beneath the black surface, the pore distribution and stone characteristics of each piece remain entirely unique.

What bulb base does this sconce use?
G9 bi-pin — not E26/E27. Please purchase G9 bulbs specifically. See the G9 bulb guide for help selecting the right option.
Is the travertine naturally black?
No — travertine is naturally off-white. The matte black finish is applied to the genuine stone surface as an intentional design choice. The natural pore structure, weight, and density are fully preserved beneath the coating.
Which size should I choose?
Three heights: 11.8″ for a compact accent, 25.9″ for a standard statement, and 37.4″ for a tall, architectural installation. All share the same 1.8″ bar diameter and opal globe.
How is the lamp controlled?
Via a pull chain on the fixture, and also compatible with a standard wall switch connected to the electrical supply.
