Viviani View Silver Chandelier

To find the ideal scale, a professional designer's rule of thumb is to add the room's length and width in feet; that sum in inches should be the approximate diameter of your fixture. With a 28.75" diameter, this chandelier is perfectly scaled for medium-sized dining rooms or entryways. If placing it over a table, ensure the fixture is about 12 inches narrower than the table's width to maintain a balanced visual proportion.

This chandelier is designed to provide ambient lighting through three bulbs, filtered through refractive seeded glass. It is ideal for creating an inviting, sophisticated atmosphere. For larger spaces or rooms requiring high-task visibility, we suggest "layering" your lighting by pairing this central piece with recessed ceiling lights or wall sconces to ensure a well-lit environment for every occasion.

This fixture features "sumptuous tear drop seeded glass," which contains tiny air bubbles trapped during the artisanal cooling process. These "seeds" serve a dual purpose: they add a sophisticated, vintage-inspired texture and work to refract light beautifully across the room. The result is a shimmering ambient glow that adds more character and depth to your space than standard clear glass.

While this fixture includes assembly instructions, professional installation by a licensed electrician is highly recommended. Given the weight of the metal frame and the numerous glass teardrop components, an expert ensures the electrical box is properly braced and the wiring is securely integrated into your home's system for long-term safety and performance.

For standard 8-foot ceilings, we recommend hanging the bottom of the chandelier 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. This height provides optimal ambient lighting for dining while ensuring the fixture remains a focal point without obstructing views across the table. For higher ceilings, you may increase the height by approximately 3 inches for every additional foot of ceiling height to maintain proper architectural scale.

This fixture is finished in a rich antique bright silver leaf, which offers a durable and elegant luster. In humid or coastal areas where salt air can be a factor, we recommend regular maintenance to prevent surface buildup. Our care guidelines suggest dusting the metal frame and glass teardrops frequently with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the integrity of the silver leaf finish.
