What customers say
The Lucullan Gold Chandelier is overwhelmingly praised as a stunning, high end showstopper that instantly elevates any space.

This aesthetic appeal is the main driver of satisfaction. While the fixture is considered an investment piece, buyers feel the unparalleled visual impact and perceived quality make it worth the significant cost.

Know before you buy
The Lucullan Gold Chandelier uses 14 E12 candelabra base bulbs. We recommend using LED bulbs with a maximum of 7.5 watts per socket to achieve the desired ambient glow.
The chandelier features an adjustable height range of 32 to 90 inches. This flexibility allows you to customize the drop to suit your ceiling height, whether you are installing it in a grand foyer or a standard living room.
While the shells are natural and delicate in appearance, they are securely mounted to form a robust, sculptural structure. As with any fine lighting fixture, it should be handled with care during installation and dusted gently with a soft cloth.
With 14 individual light points, this fixture is designed to provide significant ambient illumination. It is well-suited for larger spaces like living rooms or entryways where you need both a statement piece and functional, widespread light.
To maintain the gold leaf finish, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. For the oyster shells, a gentle dusting with a soft-bristled brush or a can of compressed air is the safest way to keep them clean without damaging the natural texture.
