Everything you need to know about our products and how we work.

ABOUT US

Where can I buy MAVRA products?

On Amazon. That's where we live for now — search MAVRA or find us directly through the links on this site. We're building toward more, but Amazon lets us ship fast and reliably to your door.

Do you ship internationally?

We ship to most countries through Amazon. Availability and delivery times depend on your location — check the listing for your region.

I'm outside the US. Will the lamp work in my country?

The lamp uses an E26 socket and a US plug — the North American standard. Outside that region you'll need a plug adapter and an E26 bulb rated for your local current; the one we include is made for North American power. The wall skulls and the candle set have no electrical parts and work anywhere.

I have a question that isn't answered here. How do I reach you?

Email us at [email protected]. We read every message and respond within 1–2 business days. No bots. No templates.

Is MAVRA a seasonal brand?

No. We make things for people who live this aesthetic year-round — not for Halloween, not for a phase. If you're here, you already know the difference.

Can I collaborate with MAVRA as a creator?

Yes. We work with creators who genuinely live inside this world. Visit mavra.space/collab-with-mavra to see what that looks like.

SKULL LAMP

What kind of bulb does it use?

A standard E26 bulb — and one comes included, so it works out of the box. We recommend a warm-white incandescent or Edison bulb: the shadow projection is richer.

Does it come with a bulb?

Yes. The bulb is included, along with both veils. Nothing else to buy.

How do the three light modes work?

The lamp ships with two veils — matte and glitter — plus the option of running the bare faceted cage. Matte gives you the softest, most diffused glow. Glitter scatters points of light across the room. The naked cage throws the hardest, sharpest skull shadow. Same lamp, three completely different rooms.

How does the touch dimmer work?

Touch the base to cycle through three levels: soft, medium, high. A fourth touch turns it off. One touch per step — no holding, no switch.

How big is the skull shadow on the wall?

It depends on how far you place the lamp from the wall. The closer, the smaller and sharper. Pull it back 1–2 feet and the skull fills a good portion of the wall behind it. Experiment — that's part of the ritual.

Can I leave it on for long periods?

Yes, but follow standard lamp safety. Keep it away from flammable materials, don't cover the shade, and make sure there's ventilation around the bulb. Don't use bulbs over 40W.

The shadow isn't as dramatic as I expected. What am I doing wrong?

Two things: the room needs to be dark (ambient light kills the contrast) and the lamp needs to be the only or main light source. Position the lamp so it's projecting toward a flat wall with nothing else on it. A bare, flat wall gives the cleanest projection.

How do I clean it?

Unplug it first. Wipe the metal cage and the base with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The veils lift off — dust them gently and let them dry fully before putting them back. Avoid abrasive cleaners: they scratch the matte finish.

How tall is the lamp?

12.2 inches tall, with a 5.4-inch shade. It reads as a presence on a nightstand or shelf without taking over the surface.

SKULL WALL DECOR

What's in the set?

Three wall skulls in graduated sizes: 8.15", 7.3" and 6.7". Each one is sculpted in high-density polyresin with real anatomical relief — dense material with weight in the hand, not a hollow shell.

How do I mount them?

Each skull has a keyhole or hanging slot on the back. Standard picture-hanging hardware works — one nail or screw per skull. For drywall without a stud, use a drywall anchor. The skulls are lightweight so most walls handle them without issue.

Will they damage my wall?

You'll leave a small nail hole, same as any framed picture. Nothing structural. If you're renting, a removable adhesive strip (like Command strips rated for the weight) can also work — check the weight on the listing.

Can I rearrange them freely?

Yes. That's one of the best parts. There's no fixed configuration — play with spacing, symmetry, density until it looks like yours. We suggest starting with the cluster slightly off-center rather than perfectly symmetrical.

How big are they?

Check the listing for exact dimensions — we carry different sizes. Generally they're sized to be impactful on the wall without overpowering the space. They're meant to be noticed, not to dominate.

Do they come in different colors?

Black, in a satin matte finish. It's the color the pieces were designed around — the relief reads as sculpture, not as a painted object.

SKULL CANDLE SET

What comes in the candle set?

Four pieces: the skull candle, the spine candle, and two votives — in a gift box. The spine is the one nobody else in this category makes. All of them are cast in real black paraffin, black all the way through.

How long do the candles burn?

The skull burns about 12 hours, the spine about 6. Burn them to the edge each time and you'll get the full life out of both.

What scent are they?

Pine & Moss. A forest after rain — green, resinous, cold at the edges. It fills a room without shouting, and it isn't a holiday scent: it reads the same in March as in October.

Are they safe to burn indoors?

Yes. Standard candle safety applies: never leave burning candles unattended, keep away from drafts, flammables, and reach of children or pets. Burn on a heat-resistant surface.

How do I get the longest burn time?

First burn is the most important one. Let the wax melt all the way to the edges before extinguishing — this prevents tunneling and ensures even burns for every session after. Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use.

Does the black wax stay black as it burns?

Yes. It's black all the way through the mass, not a coated white candle. It burns as dark as it looks, from the first hour to the last.
