Know before you buy
Yes, the fixture features an adjustable height range of 18 to 33.5 inches, allowing you to customize the drop to suit your specific ceiling height and room proportions.
Yes, the Archive Pendant is damp-rated, meaning it is safe to install in areas with moisture, such as bathrooms or covered outdoor spaces, provided it is not directly exposed to water.
This pendant uses three candelabra-base (E12) bulbs. We recommend choosing bulbs with a warm color temperature to complement the soft, diffused light provided by the linen shade.
To keep the linen shade looking its best, we recommend dusting it regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum attachment with a brush. Avoid using liquid cleaners, as they can damage or stain the fabric.
Yes, because this is a hardwired fixture, professional installation is recommended to ensure it is safely and securely mounted to your ceiling junction box.
