What Is a Coastal Farmhouse Chandelier?
A coastal farmhouse chandelier merges the relaxed organic materials of seaside living with the substantial construction of agricultural design traditions. Unlike purely nautical fixtures that can feel themed, coastal farmhouse chandeliers incorporate rope, weathered metals, and organic forms as functional design elements rather than decorative appliqués.
What You Get With the Currey & Company Shipwright Chandelier
- 38.5-Inch Diameter Round Frame -- This substantial scale creates commanding presence in dining rooms and establishes proper visual proportion for tables 28-38 inches wide.
- Hand-Forged Wrought Iron Construction -- Heavy-gauge wrought iron develops subtle surface character with age and confirms genuine hand-forging rather than industrial production.
- Abaca Rope Wrapping Detail -- Abaca rope is derived from sustainable banana plant fiber and wraps the ring holding the bobeches and candle arms, creating authentic nautical character.
- French Black and Smokewood Finish Combination -- This dual finish creates visual depth that reads beautifully against both whitewashed shiplap and rich navy accent walls.
- Six-Light Configuration -- Six E12 candelabra bulbs provide substantial illumination for dining tables up to 48 inches long.
- Adjustable Hanging Height -- Adjusts from 34.5 to 102.5 inches total height to accommodate various ceiling heights and dining table proportions.
