Auraph Gold Chandelier

A professional rule of thumb for sizing is to add the length and width of your room in feet; the resulting sum is the ideal diameter for your fixture in inches. For example, in a 16' x 20' room, a 36-inch diameter fixture like this one provides the perfect scale. Given its substantial 36-inch width, this chandelier is an excellent choice for medium-to-large dining rooms or foyers where it can act as a bold, architectural centerpiece.

To achieve a balanced look and functional lighting, our experts recommend hanging the bottom of the fixture 30 to 36 inches above your tabletop. This specific chandelier stands 32 inches high, so it is important to verify your ceiling height—ideally 9 feet or higher—to ensure there is adequate clearance for both the fixture and the hanging chain while maintaining an unobstructed view across the table.

With 19 individual lights, this chandelier is engineered for high-output ambient lighting, making it capable of illuminating large living areas or dining rooms. The white glass shades are strategically designed to diffuse the light, ensuring that the 19 bulbs provide a warm, captivating glow that fills the space without creating the harsh glare often associated with exposed-bulb fixtures.

While a 36-inch diameter is generous, the "starburst" design features a sleek, open-frame construction that provides high visual impact without feeling heavy or bulky. This makes it a sophisticated choice for modern urban apartments, especially those with open-concept floor plans. Just ensure your ceiling height can accommodate the 32-inch vertical profile of the fixture to maintain comfortable walking paths throughout your living space.

For a complex starburst design with 19 individual lights, regular maintenance is key to preserving its brilliance. We recommend dusting the gold-finished iron frame frequently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For the white glass shades, our care guidelines suggest using a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, followed by immediate drying to prevent water spots or streaks. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can degrade the gold finish over time.

This fixture is constructed with a sturdy iron frame and a refined gold finish, making it a durable choice for interior lighting. However, in regions with high humidity or salty coastal air, iron can be susceptible to surface oxidation over long periods. To maintain the luster of the gold finish in these environments, we recommend keeping the fixture in a climate-controlled room and performing regular light cleanings to remove any settled moisture or salt particles.

Because this is a substantial, 19-light hardwired fixture, professional installation by a licensed electrician is required. This ensures that your ceiling's junction box is properly rated to support the weight of the iron frame and glass shades and that the complex wiring for 19 lights is safely integrated into your home's electrical system.
