Brodrik Black Chandelier

Yes, we recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician for this fixture. Because it is a hardwired iron chandelier, professional installation ensures the electrical connections are secure and that the ceiling box is appropriately rated to support the weight and structure of the 29-inch frame.

This chandelier is crafted with a sturdy iron fixture, a material prized for its strength and traditional appeal. In humid or coastal environments where salty air can be a factor, iron is highly durable but may benefit from periodic maintenance. Our care experts recommend dusting the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the integrity of the black finish over time.

To keep your chandelier looking pristine, our care guide recommends regular light dusting. For the iron frame, use a clean, lint-free cloth. For the cotton shades, a soft brush attachment on a vacuum or a specialized fabric brush can safely remove dust without damaging the material. To maintain the "updated traditional" look, always ensure the fixture is turned off and the bulbs are cool before cleaning.

For the best aesthetic and functional result, this chandelier should be hung so that the bottom of the fixture sits approximately 30 to 36 inches above the surface of your dining table. This height provides ample illumination for the tabletop while keeping sightlines clear for conversation and preventing the five lights from creating a head-bumping hazard.

With five light sources, this chandelier provides substantial ambient illumination suitable for a primary dining or living area. The use of soft white cotton shades is a thoughtful design choice that helps diffuse the light, reducing glare and creating a warm, inviting glow that is much softer than exposed-bulb designs. This makes it an excellent choice for creating a relaxed atmosphere during meals or gatherings.

To ensure this 29-inch wide chandelier is scaled correctly for your space, a reliable designer's rule of thumb is to add the room's length and width in feet together; the sum in inches should be the approximate diameter of your fixture. For example, a room that is 14' x 15' would ideally suit this 29" diameter piece. If you are placing it over a dining table, we recommend a fixture that is between 1/2 and 2/3 the width of the table to maintain visual balance.
