Ponca Black Chandelier

This fixture is built with a sturdy metal frame featuring an industrial rust black finish with aged gray undertones. This specific type of textured, powder-coated finish is exceptionally durable and more resistant to showing the effects of moisture or salty air than high-shine polished metals. While designed for indoor use, its rugged material composition makes it a reliable choice for homes in varied climates, provided it remains in a climate-controlled interior environment.

Absolutely. This chandelier is specifically scaled for apartment living and rooms where space is at a premium. With a width of 9 inches and a height of 15 inches, it provides the elegant impact of a tiered light source without the bulky footprint of traditional chandeliers. The cylinder cage design and industrial rust black finish offer a sophisticated, transitional look that adds architectural depth to smaller living areas without overwhelming the room.

Based on our expertise in maintaining high-quality lighting, we recommend dusting the metal cage and glass cylinder regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. To clean the crackled glass and metal more thoroughly, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with a solution of mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical sprays or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the aged gray undertones and damage the unique crackled texture of the glass. Always ensure the light is turned off and the bulbs are cool before cleaning.

As a compact 9-inch wide fixture, this chandelier is ideal as a single focal point for small bistro tables or breakfast nooks. For larger areas like a kitchen island or a long dining table, our design experts suggest hanging these in a series of two or three to ensure balanced light distribution. A professional rule of thumb for general room sizing is to add the room's length and width in feet (e.g., 10' + 10' = 20) to find the suggested diameter in inches (20"). Since this fixture is 9 inches wide, it serves perfectly as a "mini chandelier" or accent pendant for smaller entryways, bedrooms, or even walk-in closets.

To ensure your safety and the proper function of the fixture, we highly recommend hiring a professional electrician for installation. Because this is a hardwired metal and glass fixture, a professional will ensure it is correctly integrated into your home's electrical system and securely mounted to the ceiling box, providing you with peace of mind and a flawless setup.
