What Is a Mixed-Metal Oval Chandelier?
A mixed-metal oval chandelier combines two or more metallic finishes on a single fixture with an elongated, oval-shaped canopy or silhouette. The interplay between finishes creates depth and prevents the fixture from appearing flat or one-dimensional in traditional or transitional interiors.
What You Get With the Currey & Company Grand Lotus Black Oval Chandelier
- Hand-Forged Wrought Iron Construction -- The entire frame is shaped and welded by hand, not cast in molds, providing structural integrity to support the 50.5-inch span without sagging.
- Dual-Finish Metalwork -- Satin black provides a sophisticated matte base while contemporary gold leaf accents catch light and add warmth to balance the black's coolness.
- Six E12 Candelabra Light Sources -- Accommodates six candelabra-base bulbs up to 60 watts each, providing ample illumination for dining tables up to 84 inches long.
- Elongated Oval Silhouette -- The 50.5-inch width complements rectangular dining tables and works particularly well in rooms with elongated proportions.
How Does the Grand Lotus Black Chandelier Work in Different Rooms?
This black chandelier works beautifully in dining rooms with 8-10 foot ceilings, positioned 30-34 inches above the table surface. The mixed-metal finish also complements lighting fixtures in adjacent spaces, and pairs well with other chandeliers in foyer or entryway applications where the oval shape suits narrow hallways.
