Luhman Silver Chandelier

To ensure a balanced look, a common design rule is to choose a chandelier with a diameter that is 1/2 to 2/3 the width of your dining table. With a 35.5" diameter, this fixture is ideally scaled for larger dining tables (roughly 60 to 72 inches wide). For general room placement, you can also add the room's length and width in feet—the sum in inches is a great benchmark for the fixture's ideal diameter.

This fixture accommodates twenty standard 40-watt incandescent bulbs. Please note that bulbs are not included with your purchase. To achieve the traditional warm glow intended for this design, we recommend high-quality incandescent bulbs, though you may also use compatible LED alternatives if you prefer higher energy efficiency and a cooler operating temperature.

This chandelier is constructed with a stainless steel crown and genuine crystal, making it a durable choice for a variety of environments. Stainless steel is naturally more resistant to rust and corrosion than many other metals, which is a significant advantage for homes in humid or coastal climates. However, to maintain its brilliant reflective finish and prevent salt-air buildup, we recommend regular dusting.

To keep the crystals sparkling and the silver finish bright, our experts recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry rag. For a deeper clean, ensure the fixture is turned off and completely cool before gently wiping the crystals. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the delicate interlaced crystal or the reflective stainless steel surface.

Given its substantial size and the intricate assembly of its five large teardrops, professional installation is highly recommended. This is a hardwired fixture that must be integrated directly into your home's electrical system. Due to the weight of the stainless steel frame and 20-light configuration, your installer should verify that your ceiling junction box is rated to support a heavy-duty light fixture.

For dining areas, we recommend hanging the chandelier so the bottom sits 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. This provides optimal illumination while maintaining clear sightlines. Because this fixture features an adjustable chain and a dramatic 102" height, it is exceptionally well-suited for grand entryways or two-story foyers, where it can be positioned to be viewed from both the ground floor and the second-story landing.
