What customers say
The Fontaine Vertical Chandelier is celebrated as a true statement piece, consistently earning praise for its stunning architectural design and superior quality. Reviewers frequently describe the fixture as 'jewelry for the home,' highlighting the high-grade materials and flawless construction. Its verticality creates a dramatic, beautiful light dispersion, making it ideal for grand entryways. While the premium price is noted, most buyers feel the unparalleled design and exceptional craftsmanship ultimately justify the investment.

Overall, this fixture is highly recommended for those seeking a sophisticated, impactful centerpiece that delivers luxury.
Know before you buy
Yes, the fixture includes 6 feet of chain, allowing you to customize the drop height to suit your ceiling height and room proportions.
This chandelier uses 8 E12 candelabra base bulbs. Each socket supports a maximum of 40 watts.
The textured plaster finish provides a sophisticated, matte look that is best maintained by dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the unique surface texture.
With an overall height of 45.25 inches, this piece is quite substantial. It is best suited for rooms with higher ceilings, such as grand foyers, dining rooms, or living areas with vaulted ceilings.
The seven linen shades are designed to diffuse light, creating a warm and inviting glow rather than harsh, direct illumination. While it provides ample ambient light for a foyer or living room, you may want to pair it with additional task lighting if you require bright, focused light for reading or detailed work.
Because this fixture is chain-hung, it is generally compatible with sloped ceilings. We recommend consulting with a professional electrician to ensure the canopy is properly secured to your specific ceiling angle.
