Know before you buy
Yes, the fixture has been professionally re-wired for modern use while retaining its original vintage components. It is ready for installation in a standard home electrical setup.
The chandelier features six E12 base sockets. It is compatible with modern LED bulbs, which we recommend for energy efficiency and to manage heat output near the vintage glass.
Yes, the overall height is adjustable. The fixture includes a new brass stem that allows you to tailor the drop to suit your specific ceiling height and room proportions.
To preserve the integrity of the vintage glass, we recommend gently dusting the shades with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly on the fixture to avoid moisture entering the brass center.
The center features an antiqued brass finish that complements the 1940s aesthetic of the piece. It provides a warm, aged patina that pairs beautifully with the clarity of the twisted glass arms.
The chandelier measures 25.5 inches in width and 22 inches in depth. Given its scale, it is best suited for dining areas, kitchens, or entryways where it can serve as a central focal point.
