Compass Travertine Sconce
VKW08-26522-01
- In stock, ready to ship
A compass travertine sconce — a square natural-travertine panel hung on the diagonal, with two dark iron pointers crossing its face like a compass and a soft halo of light glowing from behind the stone. The pointers are a decorative motif, not a working clock. Two sizes, 9.1″ and 11.8″, integrated LED backlight. For hallways, living rooms, and accent walls.
Diamond stone panel
A square travertine slab hung on the diagonal — a clean diamond face with soft rounded corners.
Iron pointer motif
Two crossed iron pointers add a compass-like graphic detail. Decorative only — they don't tell time.
Backlit halo · LED
An integrated LED behind the stone throws a warm halo onto the wall. AC 110–240V universal.
A light, not a clock
This is a decorative wall light. The crossed iron pointers are a fixed compass-style motif — they do not move, do not tell time, and there is no clock movement or battery. Please buy it for the look and the backlit glow, not as a working timepiece.
About natural travertine
The panel is cut from natural travertine. Open pores, surface pitting, and color banding vary piece to piece — these are core characteristics of the stone, not defects or damage. No two panels are identical, and the backlight makes the natural veining more visible.
Two sizes
9.1″ for a compact accent, 11.8″ for a bolder diamond on a larger wall.
Pair or stack
Hang one as a focal point, or pair both sizes for a staggered gallery-wall look.

- Hardwired wall install — a licensed electrician is recommended. Mounts over a standard US junction box behind the panel.
- Hung on the diagonal as a diamond; mount the bracket level so the panel sits square on its point.
- The LED backlight is integrated; end-of-life replacement is handled at authorized service — contact us with your order number rather than replacing the whole fixture.
- The iron pointers are fixed decoration and don't move — there's nothing to wind, set, or battery to change.
- Travertine is a porous natural stone — open pores, surface pitting, and color banding are core characteristics of the material, not flaws or damage. The backlight makes natural veining more visible.
- Indoor dry locations only (IP20). Keep clear of direct water, as travertine is porous and absorbs moisture.
Does it tell time — is it a clock?
No. The crossed iron pointers are a fixed decorative motif inspired by a compass, not a working clock. They don't move, there's no movement or battery, and the fixture doesn't tell time. It's a backlit travertine wall light — buy it for the look and the glow, not as a timepiece.
How is this different from the dual disc travertine sconce?
Both glow with backlit travertine, but the form is different. This Compass is a single diamond-hung square panel with a graphic iron pointer motif and a halo behind the stone. The Dual Disc is two round backlit discs on a stem. Pick Compass for a flat, framed, graphic accent; pick Dual Disc for a sculptural twin-circle piece.
Is the LED replaceable?
The LED backlight is integrated and rated over 30,000 hours — roughly 25 years at 3 hours of daily use. It isn't a user-swappable bulb; if it fails within or after the warranty period, contact authorized service with your order number for a replacement LED module rather than replacing the whole fixture.
The travertine has holes and pits — is that a defect?
No — those are natural to travertine. Open pores, surface pitting, and color banding are core characteristics of the stone, not flaws or shipping damage. Each panel is cut from natural stone, so no two are exactly alike, and the backlight makes the veining more visible.
Can I install it in a bathroom, and what's the warranty?
Only away from water — it's rated IP20 for indoor dry locations, so keep it clear of shower or tub spray. Travertine is porous and absorbs moisture. 2-year warranty on the fixture and wiring; the LED is covered under the same warranty. Email support for help — we reply within one business day.
Sizing & questions
Every piece is made to order in our own atelier — here is what most clients ask before choosing theirs.
What are the two sizes, and which should I choose?+
Small is 9.1″ × 9.1″ for compact accents; large is 11.8″ × 11.8″ for bolder impact on larger walls. Both project 2″ from the wall. Pair or stack both sizes for a gallery-wall look.
Is the Compass Sconce a working clock?+
No. The crossed iron pointers are fixed decorative motifs inspired by a compass—they do not move, tell time, or contain any clock mechanism or battery. Buy it for the backlit glow and design.
What is natural travertine, and will it look different on every sconce?+
Travertine is a natural stone with open pores, surface pitting, and color banding. Each panel is unique; no two are identical. The backlight makes natural veining more visible—these are core stone characteristics, not defects.
Can the LED be dimmed and replaced?+
Yes, the integrated LED is dimmable. When the LED reaches end of life, contact us with your order number for authorized LED replacement service rather than replacing the whole fixture.
Does this sconce require professional installation?+
Yes, the sconce is hardwired to a standard US junction box behind the panel and mounted on the diagonal as a diamond. A licensed electrician is recommended. The bracket mounts level so the panel sits square on its point.
