Ensign Place Gold Chandelier

Yes, this chandelier is specifically designed to accommodate varied architectural heights. It features an adjustable down rod, which allows you to customize the hanging length to fit your specific space. This flexibility makes it a perfect centerpiece for grand two-story entryways or contemporary living rooms with vaulted ceilings.

To provide optimal illumination while maintaining clear sightlines across the table, we recommend hanging the bottom of the fixture 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. This positioning ensures the 8 lights provide a warm, inviting glow for meals while keeping the decorative globe design at an elegant eye level for your guests.

This is a hardwired fixture featuring a robust metal frame and glass shades, requiring a secure connection to your home’s electrical system. For safety and to ensure the round mount plate is properly anchored to support the weight of the 8-light design, professional installation by a licensed electrician is highly recommended.

For a balanced aesthetic, lighting experts generally recommend a fixture that is approximately 1/2 to 2/3 the width of your dining table. With its 34-inch diameter, this 8-light chandelier is an ideal choice for larger dining tables—typically those 60 to 72 inches wide—ensuring the ambient light is distributed effectively across the surface without overwhelming the seating area.

Given its substantial 44-inch height and 34-inch diameter, this fixture is a statement piece best suited for rooms with 9-foot ceilings or higher. In a home with standard 8-foot ceilings, the scale may hang too low for high-traffic areas; however, in a foyer or a spacious primary bedroom with elevated ceilings, its round globe design creates a stunning, airy focal point that enhances the sense of volume in the room.

This fixture is fully dimmable, offering you the versatility to transition from bright, functional task lighting to a soft, atmospheric glow for evening entertaining. By pairing the metal fixture with compatible dimmable bulbs and a dedicated dimmer switch, you can easily fine-tune the ambiance of your contemporary or mid-century modern space.

Based on our expertise in material care, we suggest regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain the luster of the golden finish. For the clear glass shades, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth and mild, diluted soap will effectively remove smudges or film. To protect the integrity of the metal, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads.
