Emilee Lane Bronze Chandelier

This fixture is constructed from durable metal with a weathered bronze finish. While the material is robust, in humid or coastal regions where salt air is a factor, we recommend regular maintenance to preserve the matte luster. Our care guidelines suggest wiping the frame with a dry, soft microfiber cloth regularly to remove moisture buildup and prevent surface oxidation, ensuring the finish remains pristine for years.

With six individual light sockets in an open-frame design, this chandelier provides significant ambient light. Because the bulbs are not obstructed by shades, the light disperses freely in all directions, making it an effective primary light source for medium to large dining areas. For those who value ambiance, we recommend using dimmable bulbs to easily transition from bright, functional lighting to a soft, warm glow for evening gatherings.

This 42-inch wide rectangular chandelier is specifically engineered for longer dining tables or kitchen islands. A general rule of expertise for rectangular fixtures is to select a length that is roughly 1/2 to 2/3 the length of the table. At 42 inches, this piece is a perfect complement to tables ranging from 60 to 84 inches long, ensuring balanced illumination across the entire surface without overwhelming the seating area.

To provide optimal lighting while maintaining clear sightlines for conversation, we recommend hanging the bottom of the fixture 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. Since this chandelier features an open-frame geometric design, it offers an airy aesthetic that is particularly advantageous in rooms with standard 8-foot or 9-foot ceilings, where a more solid fixture might feel too heavy or intrusive.

The design is characterized as "vintage farm industrial," featuring clean lines and a deep weathered bronze finish. This versatile look pairs seamlessly with modern farmhouse, industrial loft, or transitional decors. The matte luster applied to the metal adds a layer of sophistication that bridges the gap between rugged industrial elements and refined contemporary spaces, making it an excellent choice for modern suburban homes.

Due to its substantial 42-inch span and metal construction, professional installation by a licensed electrician is highly recommended. It is vital to ensure that the ceiling junction box is properly rated for the fixture's weight and that the mounting is perfectly level, which is critical for the visual symmetry of a long rectangular design.
