A matching pair of mid-century French Directoire-style semi-flush mount ceiling lights, crafted from solid natural white alabaster. Each fixture features an elegant, hand-carved scalloped form accented by a striking incised starburst pattern, supported by patinated brass or bronze hardware.
The beauty of these fixtures lies in their dual nature. Unlit, they display a sculptural, milky-ivory elegance with fine, organic mineral veining unique to each piece of stone. When illuminated, the translucent quality of the alabaster transforms the space, diffusing a warm, golden, honeyed glow. The varying thickness of the hand-carved star pattern creates a captivating interplay of light and soft shadow, completely eliminating harsh glare.
Perfectly scaled at 13 inches wide, this identical pair offers timeless sophistication for entryways, hallways, bedrooms, or any interior requiring elevated, atmospheric overhead lighting. Excellent vintage condition. Newly wired for US standards with new sockets and hardware, uses two candelabra size bulbs.
