Alhena Brown Chandelier

This chandelier is specifically designed to provide a "rich appearance" and a unique, illuminated glow. The multi-colored crystals and decorative colored glass bobeches refract light to create a warm, multi-dimensional ambiance that is more decorative than a standard clear-glass fixture. It accommodates six E12 type B bulbs (up to 25 watts each), which provides a soft, ambient light perfect for formal dining or elegant entryways.

To ensure a balanced look, a general rule of thumb is that the diameter of your chandelier should be one-half to two-thirds the width of your dining table. With a 25-inch diameter, this fixture is ideally scaled for tables approximately 38 to 50 inches wide. For room placement, adding the length and width of your room in feet (e.g., 12' + 13' = 25) can provide a suggested diameter in inches, making this 25-inch chandelier a perfect centerpiece for medium-sized traditional spaces.

Yes, the forged iron construction of this chandelier provides exceptional structural integrity and weight. While iron is a robust material, our care guidelines recommend keeping the fixture in a climate-controlled interior environment. To maintain the brown finish and protect the metal from moisture in more humid regions, ensure the fixture is dusted regularly with a soft, dry rag to prevent the buildup of salt or grime that can affect the finish over time.

To keep the crystals sparkling and the multi-colored glass vibrant, we recommend regular dusting. Based on our material expertise, you should only clean the fixture when it is completely off and cool to the touch. Use a soft, lint-free rag to gently wipe the crystals and glass bobeches. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the forged iron finish or the delicate coating on the colored crystals.

This fixture stands 34 inches high, making it a substantial vertical piece. For a standard 8-foot ceiling, this would leave roughly 62 inches of clearance; however, for dining areas, we recommend hanging the bottom of the chandelier 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. Due to its height, this chandelier is particularly well-suited for rooms with 9-foot or 10-foot ceilings, or as a statement piece in a two-story foyer where its vertical scale can be fully appreciated.

Yes. Because this is a hardwired ceiling fixture, we strongly recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician to ensure it is safely integrated into your home’s electrical system. The product requires assembly, meaning the intermittent crystals and glass bobeches will need to be "dressed" or attached to the forged iron frame after the main fixture is secured.
