Skylar Grove Bronze Chandelier

Yes, this chandelier features a heavy-gauge real wood wagon wheel frame finished in a mid-tone hue. The use of genuine wood provides an organic texture and warmth that synthetic materials cannot replicate, making it a true statement piece for rustic or farmhouse-inspired decor. The frame is further reinforced with iron wrapping in a weathered bronze finish, ensuring both structural integrity and a high-end industrial aesthetic.

Because this is a hardwired, multi-light fixture featuring heavy-gauge wood and iron components, professional installation by a licensed electrician is strongly recommended. A professional ensures that your ceiling’s electrical box is rated to support the weight of the chandelier and can safely handle the 8-light incandescent load. They can also expertly trim the 7-foot chain to the precise height needed for your specific ceiling architecture.

Yes, this fixture is specifically designed for architectural versatility. It is supplied with 20 feet of wire and 7 feet of chain, providing ample length for installation in grand two-story foyers or rooms with vaulted ceilings. For a dining area, we recommend hanging the bottom of the chandelier 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. If placing it in an entryway, ensure the bottom of the fixture is at least 7 feet from the floor to allow for safe passage and optimal sightlines from second-floor landings.

The eight clear seeded glass shades offer a sophisticated blend of vintage charm and modern clarity. Seeded glass contains tiny bubbles trapped within the material, which helps to subtly diffuse the light from the incandescent bulbs. This creates a warm, textured glow and reduces harsh glare. From a maintenance perspective, seeded glass is excellent at masking minor dust or fingerprints better than perfectly clear glass, though we still recommend a gentle wipe with mild soap and water to keep it sparkling.

The deep weathered bronze finish is treated with black antiquing and a slight texture, which is specifically designed to be durable and hide wear. In coastal or high-humidity climates, we recommend wiping the metalwork periodically with a soft, dry cloth to prevent salt or moisture buildup. This simple maintenance helps preserve the integrity of the antiqued finish and prevents long-term corrosion, ensuring the fixture maintains its rustic character for years to come.

Choosing the correct scale is essential for a balanced look. This chandelier features a substantial 39-inch diameter, making it an ideal centerpiece for large dining tables (typically 60 to 80 inches wide) or spacious rooms with open floor plans. A professional rule of thumb is to add the length and width of your room in feet; that sum in inches should roughly match the diameter of your fixture. Given its size, this piece is particularly well-suited for rooms approximately 20' x 19' or larger.
