Know before you buy
This fixture uses seven E26 medium-base bulbs. You can use standard incandescent bulbs up to 60 watts each or opt for LED equivalents to achieve your desired brightness and color temperature.
The fixture itself is not internally dimmable. However, if you use dimmable LED bulbs, you can typically control the light levels using a compatible wall-mounted dimmer switch.
The Manhattan Chandelier features a stainless steel wire suspension system. It is designed for chain-hung mounting, which provides a clean, architectural look that complements its circular brass frame.
The natural brass finish is unlacquered, meaning it will develop a unique patina over time as it reacts to the environment. To maintain the original shine, you can use a high-quality brass polish, or simply let it age naturally for a more vintage, lived-in aesthetic.
With its wide diameter and low-profile 3-inch body, this piece makes a significant visual impact without overwhelming a room’s vertical space. It is ideal for dining rooms, entryways, or living areas with standard to high ceilings where you want a statement piece that feels airy rather than heavy.
Yes, the Manhattan Chandelier is UL listed, ensuring it meets rigorous safety and performance standards for residential lighting installations in the United States.
