Anvers Wall and Ceiling Light by CTO Lighting

Anvers Wall and Ceiling Light is a low, round light: a disc of honed alabaster in a solid brass body that sits flat on a wall or a ceiling, made by CTO Lighting of London. It comes in 3 sizes: Small at 7.7 in, Medium at 13.2 in and Large at 21.5 in across.

It comes in 3 finishes: Bronze, Satin Brass and Antique Bronze, each with honed alabaster.

The Design Story

CTO named Anvers for the flat, linear plains of the Flemish landscape. A translucent disc of finely honed alabaster sits in a solid brass body, and the stone's natural striations make every light one of a kind.

Mounted flat, the disc glows like a pale moon on a wall or a low ceiling.

The Story of CTO Lighting

Chris and Clare Turner founded CTO Lighting in London in 1998 on one principle: design lights of uncompromising quality, using only the finest materials and working with elite British craftsmen. Chris is an engineer who designs and builds with meticulous detail, and Clare brings the eye of fashion. Together they built a name for understated luxury in hand-finished brass, mouth-blown glass and artisan-cut stone, and the collection has gone on to light The Savoy, The Dorchester, St Pancras Renaissance Hotel and Chiltern Firehouse.

How It Was Made

CTO assembles every Anvers light to order in England. The body is solid brass, finished in bronze, satin brass or antique bronze, and it holds a disc of honed alabaster lit by an integrated LED.

The Finishes

Antique Bronze. Rich, deep tones with a natural patina. Each fixture shows the character of the material and the hand of the British artisans who finish it.

Bronze. Deep, rich color and a robust build bring a touch of historical weight to a modern room, with a warm, inviting glow.

Satin Brass. Warm golden tones and a brushed, satin surface give a soft sheen that feels luxurious but understated. CTO selects the metal for its durability and beauty.

Honed Alabaster. Every piece is cut from natural stone, prized for its soft, diffused light. The veining occurs naturally, so no two are alike, from almost white to grey-veined.

Why You’ll Love It

Anvers works well on a low ceiling where a pendant will not fit, or on a wall in a hall, a stair or a bedroom. Use a single disc, or group different sizes on a wall or a ceiling for a loose, layered pattern.

Made for Real Life

The 110-130V versions have integrated LEDs at 2700K: 10.5W in the Small, 17W in the Medium and 24W in the Large. They dim with a trailing-edge (phase-cut) dimmer. They weigh 5.5 lb, 15.4 lb and 44.1 lb, and CTO asks you to check that the wall or ceiling can carry the load. All are IP20 for dry indoor rooms. CTO's IP44 bathroom versions are 220-240V only. Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth and use a slightly damp cloth for marks. Skip detergents and abrasives on the alabaster and the metal.

Sizes in Inches: Diameter and Projection

CTO lists Anvers Wall and Ceiling at 7.7 in (195 mm), 13.2 in (335 mm) and 21.5 in (545 mm) across, and each disc projects 1.9 in (48 mm).

Questions We Hear Most

Is Anvers dimmable?

Yes. CTO lists trailing-edge (phase-cut) dimming as standard for the 110-130V version. DALI is listed only for 220-240V, and 0-10V control is available on request.

What do the numbers in the sizes mean?

Small, Medium and Large are CTO's three sizes. The discs are 7.7 in (195 mm), 13.2 in (335 mm) and 21.5 in (545 mm) across, and each projects 1.9 in (48 mm).

Can I mount it on a wall and on a ceiling?

Yes. CTO shows the same disc on a wall and flat on a ceiling.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

The 110-130V version is IP20, which is for dry indoor rooms. CTO's IP44 versions are 220-240V only. Keep this version out of wet zones and ask your electrician about placement.

How heavy is it?

The Small weighs 5.5 lb (2.5 kg), the Medium 15.4 lb (7 kg) and the Large 44.1 lb (20 kg). CTO notes that the surface must be able to carry it.

Is every alabaster piece the same?

No. Alabaster is natural stone, so the veining and tone vary from piece to piece.

How do I clean it?

Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. If a mark remains on the metal or the alabaster, use a slightly damp lint-free cloth, then dry it with a soft dry one. CTO advises against detergents and abrasive cleaners.

Why We Love It

Anvers is a flat disc of stone that makes a wall or a low ceiling glow softly.
