Thompson Valley Brass Chandelier

This fixture is crafted from a sturdy iron frame with a brass finish, providing significant durability and weight. While brass and iron are resilient materials, we recommend regular maintenance in high-humidity or coastal environments to prevent surface oxidation. Wiping the metal components with a dry, soft cloth regularly will help preserve the luster of the brass finish against salt air or moisture.

With five individual lights diffused through premium white linen shades, this chandelier provides a warm, ambient glow ideal for creating a welcoming atmosphere. The linen shades, which feature a durable plastic interior lining for longevity, help eliminate harsh glares. This makes it an excellent primary light source for industrial or rustic dining areas where you want soft, even illumination.

This is a hardwired lighting fixture designed for a clean, built-in appearance without exposed cords. Because it integrates directly into your home's electrical system, we recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician. This ensures the 5-light system is safely mounted to your ceiling's electrical box and properly grounded according to local building codes.

For most dining applications, our experts recommend hanging the base of the fixture 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. This ensures optimal illumination while preventing the 16-inch high cylindrical shades from obstructing sightlines. For foyers or entryways, aim for a minimum of 7 feet of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the fixture to safely accommodate foot traffic.

Based on our expertise with these materials, we recommend dusting the linen shades regularly with a clean, soft cloth or a vacuum brush attachment on a low setting. For the brass-finished iron frame, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could strip the finish. A light dusting or the use of a slightly damp cloth with mild soap is the best practice for keeping the cylindrical shades and metalwork in pristine condition.

To ensure a balanced look, we recommend following professional sizing guidelines. For a dining table, a chandelier's diameter—in this case, 20 inches—should be approximately 1/2 to 2/3 the width of your table. If you are hanging this in a room, a common rule of thumb is to add the room's length and width in feet (e.g., 10' + 10' = 20) to find the ideal diameter in inches. This makes this 20-inch fixture a perfect choice for standard 10x10 rooms or smaller dining nooks.
