Carved Solid Wood · French Country Chandelier · Antique Gilt · Two Sizes

A carved solid-wood chandelier in the French Country and Gustavian tradition — a hand-turned wood column rises from a forged-iron base, branching into scrolled iron arms with carved wood bobeches and faceted antique-gilt pendants. The finish is a hand-applied old gold leaf with a soft distressed patina.

Available in two sizes — an 8-head version for dining rooms and country interiors, and a 20-head estate-scale version for grand foyers, double-height great rooms, and luxury hospitality projects.

Why It Stands Out

Hand-Turned Solid Wood Column

A solid-wood center column carved by hand in the French Provençal tradition — fluted, ringed, and crowned with a metal flower.

Forged Iron Arms

Hand-forged iron scrolled arms with carved wood bobeches and faceted gilt diamond pendants.

Hand-Applied Old Gold

Distressed antique gold leaf finish — soft patina, naturally aged appearance, no two pieces identical.

Finish


Antiqued Brass · Hand-Applied Antique Gilt

Distressed antique gold leaf over carved wood and forged iron — softly aged French Country palette suited to traditional and farmhouse interiors.

Hand-applied antique gilt finish. Each chandelier is finished by hand — the distressed gold-leaf depth, patina, and wear pattern vary piece to piece. This soft naturally aged appearance is the inherent character of hand-finished gilt, not a flaw.

20-head version — reinforced ceiling support recommended. Weight exceeds standard junction-box rating. Anchor to a structural joist or install a heavy-duty fixture brace. The 8-head version mounts on a standard junction box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size fits my space — 8-head or 20-head +

The 8-head (∅ 28.7″) suits dining tables of 5–7 ft, breakfast nooks, library rooms, and foyer entries. The 20-head estate-scale (∅ 44.9″ × H 53.9″) is for grand foyers, double-height great rooms, and hospitality with 14 ft+ ceilings.

Will my piece match the photo +

The hand-applied antique gilt patina varies piece to piece — your fixture will share the overall distressed gold palette but the exact wear pattern, gold-leaf depth, and patina tone will be unique. This is the character of hand-finished gilt.

What bulbs does it take +

Eight (small version) or twenty (estate-scale) E12 or E14 candelabra bulbs — region-matched. Bulbs included. Use warm white 2700–3000K LED candle bulbs; max 25W per socket. Filament-style flame-tip bulbs match the candle aesthetic best.

Is it dimmable +

Yes — TRIAC-compatible with dimmable E12 / E14 bulbs on a standard wall dimmer.

Is it suitable for hospitality and trade projects +

Yes — well-suited to French Country boutique hotels, farmhouse hospitality, restaurant private dining, members'-club libraries, and Tuscan-style residences. Trade pricing and specification packets available.

Inviting at eye level, the light spread looks subtle and makes the sitting area feel cohesive. The medium scale sits well over the dining nook, and the spacing between the elements keeps the ceiling from feeling crowded.

Cohesive scale gives the piece a distinct character that is easy to work into the dining nook.

M
Michael Perez

Thoughtful under a warm bulb, the material contrast gives the piece a more open appearance. The overhead profile feels compact, with enough presence to define the home office without hanging visually heavy.
