Know before you buy
Yes, this fixture is compatible with sloped ceilings, making it a versatile choice for entryways or rooms with vaulted architecture.
Yes, the fixture is damp-rated, which means it is safe to install in bathrooms or other areas where moisture may be present, provided it is not directly exposed to water.
The lantern uses four E12 candelabra-style bulbs with a maximum wattage of 40 watts each.
The Desmond Open Oval Lantern weighs 18 pounds. We recommend ensuring your ceiling junction box is properly reinforced to support this weight during hardwire installation.
The total height of the piece is 104.25 inches, which includes the chain and fixture. You can adjust the hanging height by removing links from the chain to suit your specific ceiling height.
The Aged Iron finish provides a matte, slightly textured look that leans into a modern, industrial aesthetic. It is designed to look sophisticated and timeless rather than overly shiny or polished.
