Know before you buy
The chandelier is designed for soft, ambient lighting rather than task-oriented brightness. Because the candelabra bulbs are housed within the woven Kraft paper shade, the fixture diffuses light to create a warm, gentle glow across the room.
Yes, the fixture is chain-hung and offers an adjustable hanging length up to 87 inches. This makes it versatile enough to accommodate various ceiling heights in dining rooms, foyers, or living areas.
Yes, the Maldives Chandelier is fully dimmable. We recommend pairing it with a compatible dimmer switch and dimmable LED candelabra bulbs to easily control the intensity of the light and set the desired mood.
To maintain the shade, use a soft, dry cloth or a duster to gently remove any surface dust. Avoid using liquid cleaners or water, as the paper material is delicate and could be damaged by moisture.
No, the fixture requires five E12 candelabra bulbs, which are not included. You can use standard incandescent or energy-efficient LED candelabra bulbs, provided they fit the E12 base.
Yes, the Maldives is rated as Contract Grade, meaning it is built to meet higher standards of durability and construction. It is well-suited for both residential homes and commercial spaces that require a robust, long-lasting fixture.
