Know before you buy
The Mathilda Chandelier is highly versatile, offering an adjustable hanging height between 35 and 101 inches. This makes it suitable for both standard ceiling heights and grander, double-height entryways.
With eight E12 candelabra sockets, this fixture can accommodate up to 480 watts total. It is designed to provide soft, ambient illumination, making it an excellent choice for creating a warm atmosphere in dining areas.
The light is diffused through milky white glass shades, which softens the glow significantly. This creates a gentle, jewelry-like effect rather than a direct or harsh beam.
Yes, the Mathilda Chandelier is fully dimmable. We recommend pairing it with compatible dimmable bulbs to achieve the perfect level of ambiance for your space.
The cast brass frame features a matte gold finish with a textured, palette-knife aesthetic. To keep it looking its best, simply dust the frame occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Because it is constructed from durable cast brass, it has a substantial feel. We recommend ensuring your ceiling junction box is properly rated to support the weight of a chandelier of this size and material.
