A mid-century round chandelier with linen shades is the fastest way to make a dining room or foyer feel finished. This one pairs a solid brass body with textured fabric shades and a tapered, torch-style silhouette, and it comes in three sizes: a 28″ four-head, a 42.1″ six-head, and a two-tier 48″ version with eight lights. If you are choosing between sizes, the short answer is: match the fixture diameter to roughly one-third of your table width, hang the bottom of the shades 30–36″ above the table, and use E12 LED bulbs around 2700K–3000K for a warm, comfortable glow.
Below is a practical guide to sizing, placement, bulbs, and finishes so you can pick the right configuration the first time. Every specification here comes straight from the product page — and if you want the full details or to order, you can view the chandelier here.
Design and Materials: What You Are Getting
The fixture is built around a solid brass body, which gives it the warm, slightly matte sheen that defines the mid-century look. The shades are fabric lampshades with a woven texture, so they soften the light instead of throwing hard shadows the way bare metal or glass can. The tapered, torch-style arms and subtle wrapped detailing along the connections are what tie the whole piece together visually.
Four finishes are available:
- Brass — the classic warm gold; best with wood, warm whites, and earthy palettes.
- Black — higher contrast; reads modern and works in monochrome or industrial-leaning rooms.
- Nickel — cool silver tone; suits grays, blues, and cooler contemporary interiors.
- White — light and airy; a good fit for Scandinavian and coastal rooms.
Because the shades are fabric, they diffuse light beautifully overhead, which is exactly what you want over a dining table where people are looking up at each other. The brass frame gives it enough presence to hold its own as the focal point of the room.
One thing worth planning for: this is a custom-made designer product with a production time of roughly 10 days before it ships. It is designed and developed in-house and ships from the brand’s own warehouse, so if you are working against a deadline, factor that window in and order early.
Choosing the Right Size
The single most common mistake with round chandeliers is buying one that is too small. There are three configurations, and each suits a different room:
| Configuration | Diameter | Height | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Heads | 71 cm / 28″ | 44 cm / 17.3″ | Small dining rooms, breakfast nooks, large foyers |
| 6 Heads | 107 cm / 42.1″ | 44 cm / 17.3″ | Standard dining rooms seating 6–8 |
| 4+4 Heads (Two-Tier) | 122 cm / 48″ | 64 cm / 25.2″ | Open living/dining spaces, great rooms, two-story foyers |
All three configurations ship with suspension rods of 30 cm and 40 cm (11.8″ and 15.7″), so you can adjust the drop to suit your ceiling. As a rule of thumb, pick a diameter that is about one-third the width of your dining table — a 60″-wide table pairs well with the 28″ model, while a long 84″ table is better served by the 42.1″ or 48″ version. You can compare the three sizes and finishes here.
Placement and Installation
Dining rooms
Center the chandelier over the table — not the room — since the table is what people gather around. For a normal 8–9 ft ceiling, aim for the bottom of the shades to sit 30–36 inches (76–91 cm) above the tabletop. If your ceiling is higher, raise it slightly and use the longer suspension rod; if you have taller diners or a lower ceiling, lower the fixture to about 30 inches so it still feels connected to the table rather than floating.
Foyers and entryways
In a foyer, center the fixture in the space and keep the bottom at least 7 feet (about 2.1 m) above the floor so people can walk under it comfortably. In a two-story entry, the two-tier 48″ model fills the vertical gap well — just remember its total height is 25.2″, so account for that when calculating the drop.
Ceiling and weight
All versions use the included suspension rods rather than a chain, which keeps the lines clean and mid-century. Have a qualified electrician install it and confirm your ceiling box is rated to support the fixture; larger round chandeliers are heavy, and a proper ceiling-rated box is non-negotiable.
Bulbs and Light Quality
The chandelier uses an E12 socket (the small candelabra base), and bulbs are not included, so you choose the brightness and warmth. Because the shades are fabric and diffuse light, a few practical guidelines:
- Color temperature: 2700K for a candlelit, cozy feel; 3000K if you want slightly crisper light for dining and tasks. Avoid 4000K+ over a dining table — it tends to look clinical.
- Bulb type: Choose E12 LED bulbs. They run cool, last a long time, and with fabric shades a cooler-running bulb is the safer, more comfortable choice.
- Output: With multiple heads, you generally do not need high-lumen bulbs in each socket; moderate output across several shades gives an even, flattering glow rather than harsh bright spots.
- Dimmability: Whether the fixture can be dimmed depends on your wall switch setup and the specific bulbs you install, so confirm compatibility with your electrician if dimming matters to you.
