Samter Court Silver Chandelier

For optimal lighting and clear sightlines, the bottom of the chandelier should typically hang 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. Because this specific waterfall fixture has a significant 39.5-inch height, it is a premier choice for rooms with vaulted or high ceilings, as the cascading crystal orbs create a dramatic vertical focal point without overwhelming the lower living space.

Given the fixture's height of nearly 40 inches, it is best suited for ceilings that are 9 feet or higher. In a room with standard 8-foot ceilings, the chandelier's long profile would leave very little room for a suspension chain and could sit too low over a table. For suburban homes with grand entryways or modern apartments with high-volume ceilings, the cascading "waterfall" design is perfectly scaled to fill the vertical void.

Yes, professional installation by a licensed electrician is highly recommended. This is a hardwired LED fixture featuring a complex waterfall suspension. A professional ensures that the ceiling mounting box is securely rated for the weight of the metal and crystal components and that the electrical connections meet local building codes for long-term safety and performance.

Based on our expertise in maintaining fine finishes, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth or a specialized feather duster. For a more thorough cleaning of the crystal orbs, use a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of warm water and a drop of mild dish soap, followed by a quick buff with a dry microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and preserve the brilliance of the silver-finished metal.

When sizing a chandelier for a dining space, a professional designer's rule of thumb is to choose a fixture with a diameter that is 1/2 to 2/3 the width of your dining table. This chandelier, with its 19.75-inch diameter, is an ideal scale for tables approximately 30 to 40 inches wide. For general room placement, you can also add the room's length and width in feet; the resulting sum in inches serves as an authoritative guide for the fixture's diameter.

This chandelier is crafted with full-cut crystal orbs rather than standard molded glass. Full-cut crystals are precision-faceted to maximize light refraction and "fire." When the six integrated LED lights are engaged, these crystals act as prisms, splitting the light to create a shimmering, rain-like sparkle that glass simply cannot replicate.
