Know before you buy
With 22 candelabra bulbs, this fixture provides significant, soft ambient light. It is designed to illuminate large, open spaces, making it ideal for grand dining rooms or high-ceilinged entryways.
No, this fixture is rated for dry locations only. It should not be installed in bathrooms, kitchens, or any area prone to moisture or high humidity.
Because this chandelier weighs 106.7 lbs, it requires a reinforced junction box and professional installation to ensure it is securely mounted to your ceiling structure.
No, the 22 candelabra base (E12) bulbs are not included. You will need to purchase these separately, and we recommend choosing dimmable LED bulbs to better control the light intensity.
The fixture includes 12 feet of chain, allowing you to adjust the hanging height to suit your ceiling clearance. Be sure to measure your ceiling height carefully to ensure the 64-inch fixture body fits appropriately in your space.
To maintain the finish, dust the metal frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth. The Vidrio Artistico glass shades can be removed and cleaned with a mild glass cleaner to ensure the light remains clear and bright.
