What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Taliesin West Rain Chain as magnificent functional art, celebrating Frank Lloyd Wright's design philosophy. The core appeal centers on its stunning aesthetic, transforming a downspout into an architectural feature. Reviewers frequently highlight the elegant Peacock cup design and the gentle sound of flowing water. Material quality, often heavy gauge copper or brass, assures buyers of durability and the promise of a rich evolving patina. While the design excellence and superior craftsmanship are universally admired, the premium price point is the main point of friction for some buyers. Overall satisfaction is deep among those prioritizing distinctive, high quality architectural accents for their homes.
Know before you buy
Dalle de Verre is a thick, durable slab glass designed to withstand the elements. While the glass is weather-safe, it is a handcrafted piece, so we recommend placing it in an area protected from extreme wind or heavy debris to preserve the wire-wrapped connections.
Because each chain is meticulously handcrafted with specific glass segments and wire-wrapping, they are not designed to be easily shortened or lengthened by the user. We recommend measuring your drop height carefully before installation to ensure the 4-5 foot length fits your space.
The Arizona copper will naturally develop a rich, darkened patina over time when exposed to the elements, which is a standard characteristic of raw copper. If you prefer to keep the bright, metallic look, you can periodically clean it with a copper polish, though many owners prefer the evolving aesthetic of the natural patina.
Yes, this rain chain is designed to guide rainwater from your gutter to the ground, serving as a functional alternative to a traditional downspout. However, it is best suited for light to moderate rainfall; during heavy downpours, you may experience some splashing.
The chain typically includes a mounting attachment at the top that rests securely over your existing gutter outlet. Ensure your gutter opening is clear of debris so the water flows directly onto the chain rather than over the sides of the gutter.
