Know before you buy
This fixture uses eight candelabra base (E12) bulbs. Each socket is rated for up to 60 watts.
The black metal shades are designed to direct light downward and outward, creating a focused, warm glow rather than diffuse ambient lighting. This makes it an excellent choice for dining tables or entryways where you want to highlight a specific area.
The fixture includes a 13-inch cord, but you should verify your ceiling height to ensure the drop length fits your space comfortably. Because of its dramatic, spiked design, it is best suited for rooms where it can hang as a focal point without obstructing walkways.
The Umberto’s Cubist-inspired lines and brass finish make it a natural fit for mid-century modern, transitional, or contemporary interiors. Its abstract, artistic silhouette works particularly well in rooms that need a bold, sculptural statement piece.
Yes, this chandelier is UL certified, meaning it has been tested and meets established safety standards for electrical fixtures in residential settings.
To maintain the finish, dust the wrought iron spikes and metal shades regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the brass finish or the black coating on the shades.
