Know before you buy
The Gesso White finish is a hand-applied, matte coating that provides a textured, plaster-like appearance. It offers a soft, organic look that feels more sophisticated and tactile than a standard flat white paint.
Yes, the fixture includes a 72-inch chain that allows you to customize the hanging height. This makes it versatile enough for both standard ceiling heights and taller, vaulted spaces.
This lantern uses G9 base bulbs with a maximum wattage of 35W each. Because the bulbs are tucked within the goblet-inspired shades, ensure you select G9 bulbs that fit the dimensions of the glass.
Absolutely. Its open framework and refined design work beautifully over a dining table or as a pair above a kitchen island. Just keep in mind the 15.25-inch diameter when planning your spacing.
The open design is relatively easy to maintain compared to enclosed fixtures. You can simply dust the frame and the goblet shades periodically with a soft, dry cloth to keep the Gesso finish looking fresh.
