Saddleback Cove Clear Chandelier

At 31.5 inches in height, this chandelier is a substantial piece. When installing it over a dining table, we recommend hanging the bottom of the fixture 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. This positioning follows professional lighting standards to ensure the cascading glass spires create a "swanky" atmosphere and an intimate glow without obstructing the line of sight for your guests.

This fixture is designed as a single-light chandelier, making it ideal for creating a sophisticated, ambient atmosphere. While the clear glass spires help diffuse the light beautifully throughout a master bedroom, it is best used as a primary decorative statement piece. For larger rooms, we recommend pairing it with recessed lighting or bedside lamps to ensure you have functional task lighting alongside the chandelier's glamorous glow.

With a 26-inch diameter, this chandelier is perfectly scaled for medium-to-large dining tables or grand foyers. A professional design rule of thumb is to choose a fixture with a diameter that is roughly 1/2 to 2/3 the width of your dining table. For entryways, the 26-inch width provides a dramatic focal point that fills the volume of a larger space without overwhelming it.

Because this fixture features an intricate drum design with cascading glass spires and a heavy iron frame, we strongly recommend installation by a professional electrician. A pro will ensure the mounting box is rated for the fixture's weight and that the single-light wiring is safely integrated into your home’s electrical system, which is especially critical for high-ceiling entryways.

To maintain the "welcoming glow" and clarity of the glass, we suggest a regular dusting with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, our experts recommend applying a small amount of glass cleaner to the cloth—rather than spraying the fixture directly—to wipe down the spires. This prevents moisture from affecting the gold-finished iron ring and ensures the glass remains free of streaks and dust.

This fixture is constructed with a durable iron frame and a protective gold finish, making it a sturdy choice for interior lighting. While iron is exceptionally strong, we recommend this piece for climate-controlled indoor environments. In coastal areas, the clear glass spires are a strategic benefit, as they are resistant to the corrosion often caused by salt air, requiring only light dusting to maintain their vintage sparkle.
