Cast Brass · Louis XVI Vocabulary · Three Estate Sizes
A French Louis XVI-style chandelier in the chased and gilded brass tradition that defined late-18th-century court lighting — a tall central column descends from a foliate canopy crown, a tier of upper candle arms scrolls outward in acanthus-leaf castings, and a lower tier of secondary arms answers the upper rhythm in smaller scale. The brass is sand-cast and chased in the manner of period French maisons de bronze.
Suited to formal dining rooms, primary entry foyers, two-story foyers, and great-room interiors in 5,000+ sq ft estates, luxury hotels, and Federal, Greek Revival, Beaux-Arts, and Second Empire historic-restoration projects — for design-led clients drawn to the Louis XVI and French Provincial vocabulary. Available in three estate sizes.
Why This Fixture
Louis XVI Provenance
Foliate canopy, double tier of candle arms, and acanthus-leaf castings drawn from the late-18th-century French court chandelier vocabulary.
Sand-Cast & Chased Brass
Solid brass castings worked by hand after pour — the chasing technique of period French ciseleurs, scaled for contemporary American interiors.

9-light Ø 23.6″, 12-light Ø 30.3″, and 15-light grand Ø 33.5″ — sized for primary dining, large foyers, and grand two-story rooms.

Sand-cast and hand-chased — every piece carries hand-work variation. Casting detail and patina depth vary subtly fixture to fixture.
Reinforced ceiling support recommended. Approx. 20–40 kg (45–90 lbs) assembled depending on size — your electrician should anchor to a joist or use a UL-listed fixture brace.

Installation
- Licensed electrician required. Hardwired ceiling pendant via supplied canopy plate and chain.
- Specialist installer recommended. Cast-brass arms must be handled with care during un-crating — never lift by individual arms or canopy crown.
- Confirm ceiling support. 20–40 kg exceeds standard junction-box rating — UL-listed fixture brace or joist anchor required.
- Hang the lower tier 30–34″ above the dining table, or 7 ft+ above the foyer floor in walking zones.
- Bulbs supplied by installer. 9, 12, or 15 × E12 clear candle LED at 2700K — clear envelope reads best with chased brass detail.

Frequently Asked
Which size should I choose? +
The 9-light (Ø 23.6″) suits dining tables 48–66″ long, primary foyers with 9–11 ft ceilings, and 4,000–6,000 sq ft homes. The 12-light (Ø 30.3″) suits dining tables 60–80″ long and primary foyers with 11–14 ft ceilings. The 15-light grand (Ø 33.5″) is built for two-story foyers, grand dining rooms, and historic-restoration projects in 5,000+ sq ft estates. Hang the lower tier 30–34″ above the dining table top.
How heavy is it and what ceiling support do I need? +
Approximately 20–40 kg (45–90 lbs) assembled depending on size — at or above standard residential junction-box rating. Your electrician should install a UL-listed heavy-duty fixture brace or anchor to a structural joist. For the 15-light grand on a two-story or cathedral ceiling, structural-engineer review is recommended.
What bulbs should I use? +
9, 12, or 15 × E12 candelabra-base bulbs (US standard) depending on size, supplied by your installer. We recommend clear-envelope candle LEDs at 2700K, ≤ 25W incandescent-equivalent. Clear glass reads best against the chased brass detail — frosted bulbs flatten the casting work and are not recommended.
Is it dimmable? Lutron-compatible? +
Standard wiring is non-dimming. TRIAC-dimmable wiring is available as a custom build — please specify when contacting us. Compatible with Lutron Caséta, Diva, and forward-phase wall dimmers when paired with dimmable LED bulbs. See our dimming protocols guide.
Can I get a longer chain or different finish? +
Yes — longer chain drops for two-story foyers (36–60″) available on request. The polished brass is the period-correct standard; alternative metal finishes (antique brass, dark patinated bronze, French gilt with rubbed highlights) can be quoted as custom builds.
Suitable for hospitality and historic-restoration projects? +
Yes — hospitality-grade. Solid-brass construction and period-correct Louis XVI silhouette suit luxury hotel suites, fine-dining restaurants, members-club libraries, and Federal, Greek Revival, Beaux-Arts, and Second Empire restoration projects. ETL listing available on request. Contact our trade desk for project-quantity coordination.
