All of our wooden chandeliers are proudly made in America.  Each light is handcrafted from start to finish by skilled craftsman and is painted with a distressed finish making it look like an antique.  All of our lights coordinate with one another so don't be afraid to use a wooden chandelier in your dining room and use a punched tin light over your kitchen island, even if both can be viewed at the same time.  Have fun being creative with your lighting choices and if we can help, don't hesitate to call with questions!

 

All of the lighting will be supplied with the appropriate hardware to install in your home.  For chandeliers and other hanging lights, a canopy will be provided to cover the electrical box in your ceiling.  Also included will be 6 feet of wire and 3 feet of chain.   Additional Chain or Hook may be purchased.  If you need additional wire to swag your light, we can custom order it for you with the appropriate amount of wire for an additional charge.

 

Maximum wattage for bulbs is 40 watt for candelabra sockets and 60 watt for standard base sockets unless otherwise noted.  All bulbs are sold separately.

See our advice below to determine the size of chandelier needed for your room or for your dining room or kitchen table.

 

If you are hanging the light close to the ceiling in the middle of a room and are not suspending it over a table, use this as a guide to choose the right size.

A dining room or kitchen table chandelier should have a diameter 12" less than the width of your table. (For example: a 36" wide table should have a light 24" wide or less) Having a light too large for the table means that your dinner guests will be bumping their heads as they stand and having a light too small does not define the space well.

 

The bottom of the chandelier should be about 30" above the table. Too often, chandeliers are hung too high and seem disconnected from the table. For ceilings that are nine feet or more, a two-tier chandelier would work well to fill the space between the ceiling and the table.

 

We love dimmer switches! You can turn up the light when you need it (great when the table doubles as a homework table or for you to look through your cookbooks) and dim the light to create a nice ambience when you are entertaining.
