This hourglass travertine wall light puts the stone at the centre of the room. Between two opal glass spheres, the sculptural body of the travertine wall light, in real travertine or in jade, sits on black precision metal and throws light both up and down. A piece of architecture rather than simply a fitting.

A sculptural travertine wall light with a double beam

A travertine wall light changes the way you look at a wall. The central body here is cut from natural stone, real travertine or jade, whose veins and gradations never repeat. This travertine wall light takes the form of an hourglass: a sculptural silhouette, narrow at the waist, extended above and below by two spheres of pure opal glass. Each sphere sends its light towards the ceiling and the floor, which is the double beam principle, and together they draw a vertical halo on the surface. The stone is not merely decorative: it structures the fitting and gives it its mass, while the precision metal in a black finish outlines the drawing crisply. This travertine wall light comes in five mineral finishes: beige, white, travertine red, white jade and green jade. Each gives a different atmosphere, from the neutrality of the first to the coloured depth of green jade. Set in an entrance, a lounge or a bedroom, it becomes an object of architecture as much as a light, and the wall that takes it gains in character. Its format, 13.5 cm wide by 44 cm high, keeps it straightforward to install, and under a 2.4 m ceiling those 44 cm leave room for the upward halo to open.

The travertine wall light and opal glass in detail

This travertine wall light is distinguished by its double-beam construction. The central body in real travertine or jade is framed by two diffusers of pure opal glass in the form of spheres, one above and one below. The mount and the accents are precision metal in a black finish. The travertine wall light measures 13.5 cm wide by 44 cm in overall height. It is fitted with two G9 capsule lampholders, and the recommended output is two bulbs of 10 W maximum, incandescent or LED equivalent; they are not included, which leaves the atmosphere to you. Two lampholders are what make the upward and downward light of the travertine wall light balance against each other. The travertine wall light is dimmer compatible, the dimmer not included, so the level can be set for the hour. It fixes to a wall or a ceiling with integrated wiring. This travertine wall light is certified for damp locations, which makes it suitable for bathrooms and covered outdoor spaces, and its conformity covers North American, Australian, European and Middle Eastern standards. Stone of this length is not slight, so agree the fixing with your electrician rather than trusting plasterboard alone, particularly in a bathroom where the board is damp-resistant rather than structural.

Choosing the finish of your travertine wall light

The finish guides the mood of the room. A travertine wall light in the beige finish aims at softness: it settles into a pale wall and carries on the warmth of natural materials. In white, the stone reads brighter, almost pared back, and talks to a very light room. Travertine red brings a warmer, more deliberate contrast that suits neutral walls. The jades, white or green, introduce a coloured depth that shifts with the light. In a bathroom, this travertine wall light, certified for damp locations, brings a honed mineral elegance beside a mirror, though your electrician will want to agree the exact position first. In a lounge, two fittings either side of a sofa give a restrained symmetry, so order a pair where the wall allows. With a compatible dimmer, you can soften the light in the evening and bring it up for reading or for the morning. Remember that, as with any natural stone, each piece keeps its own character. Against a fitting in metal alone, a travertine wall light adds visual weight and a material you can touch, and the black mount brings out its grain. Two further points of use are worth knowing before the order goes in. First, keep both G9 bulbs at the same output, since unequal bulbs top and bottom will make the halo of a travertine wall light read lopsided on the wall. Second, allow a clear span above and below the fitting, because the whole point of a double beam is lost if a shelf or a cornice catches the upper sphere.

Sculptural, rated for damp locations and dimmer compatible, this double-beam travertine wall light gives a wall the presence of real stone. Choose the finish that answers your room and let the light do the rest.
