Alaysia Brass Chandelier

To keep the five white glass shades diffusing light beautifully, we recommend regular dusting with a clean, soft cloth. For a deeper clean, the shades can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth and a drop of mild dish soap. Because these shades are "softly ribbed," using a microfiber cloth or a soft-bristled duster ensures you can easily remove dust from the textured grooves without leaving streaks.

Yes. Brass is highly regarded for its natural resistance to corrosion, making it an excellent choice for homes in coastal or humid climates, such as those in Florida or the Gulf Coast. The sleek brass canopy and accents on this fixture provide a durable, warm metallic glow that holds up well against the moisture-rich air often found in these regions.

Yes, we recommend that this fixture be installed by a licensed professional electrician. This ensures that the five-light system and the brass canopy are safely and securely hardwired into your home's electrical system, providing you with peace of mind and ensuring the cascading shades are perfectly balanced for the best aesthetic result.

For the best visual impact and functional illumination, this chandelier should typically be hung so the bottom of the shades sits 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. This height provides a "gentle, golden radiance" across the dining surface while ensuring the sculptural forms remain at a comfortable eye level that doesn't obstruct conversation across the table.

To determine the ideal scale, a common industry rule of thumb is to add the room's length and width in feet; the sum in inches represents the ideal diameter for your fixture. With a 14-inch diameter, this chandelier is perfectly scaled for more intimate spaces such as breakfast nooks, smaller entryways, or as a pair over a larger kitchen island. For dining tables, we recommend a fixture that is approximately 1/2 to 2/3 the width of the table surface to maintain visual balance.

Absolutely. With a fixture body height of just 9.75 inches, this chandelier is an excellent solution for urban apartments or homes with standard 8-foot ceilings. Its compact, round design provides the sophisticated look of a multi-light chandelier without the vertical bulk, allowing for ample head clearance while still serving as a stunning modern centerpiece.
