Upsal Estates Gold Chandelier

To find the ideal size for a chandelier, a professional rule of thumb is to add the room's length and width in feet together; the sum in inches represents the ideal diameter for the fixture. For example, this 24-inch diameter chandelier would perfectly balance a 12' x 12' room. If you are placing it over a dining table, the fixture should typically be about 1/2 to 2/3 the width of the table to maintain proper scale.

For standard 8-foot ceilings, we recommend hanging the bottom of the chandelier 30 to 36 inches above the surface of your table. This height provides ample illumination for dining while ensuring the fixture remains a focal point without obstructing cross-table conversation. Given this fixture’s total height of 62.5 inches, it is well-suited for rooms with standard to tall ceilings where the hanging length can be adjusted during installation.

This fixture features a white tapered fabric shade designed to provide soft, ambient lighting. Unlike clear glass, which can produce sharp glares, the fabric shade diffuses light from the five internal bulbs, creating a warm and inviting glow throughout the room. Additionally, the shade is designed to tilt, allowing you to subtly direct the light to better suit your space's layout or to highlight specific design elements.

With a 24-inch diameter, this fixture is an excellent choice for urban apartments or smaller dining nooks. Its "drum" design is a classic transitional element that provides a significant visual impact without the sprawling footprint of traditional multi-tier chandeliers. The white fabric shade and plated brass finish help reflect light, which can make a more compact living area feel brighter and more open.

Yes, we highly recommend that this chandelier be installed by a licensed professional electrician. Because it is a hardwired metal fixture featuring a five-light array and a substantial 62.5-inch maximum height, professional installation ensures the electrical connections are secure and the ceiling cover is safely mounted to support the weight of the metal frame and fabric shade.

The metal frame is finished with a high-quality plated brass, offering a timeless aesthetic that is more resistant to the pitting and tarnishing sometimes seen in solid unlacquered metals. To maintain its elegant luster, our care guidelines suggest regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. This durable finish is well-suited for most indoor climates, including the humid conditions often found in coastal or southern regions, provided it is kept in a climate-controlled interior.
