A 6-light chandelier with a French Black finish and gold leaf highlights, designed for traditional dining rooms and foyers.
The Montparnasse collection draws inspiration from the artistic heart of 20th-century Paris. This chandelier features a wrought iron frame in French Black with subtle gold leaf accents, creating a classic yet refined silhouette. Its six arms provide ample illumination for gatherings, while the traditional styling complements both formal and transitional interiors.

How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you choose. This chandelier accepts six standard base bulbs (not included) up to 60W each, for a maximum of 360W. Using 60W incandescent equivalent LED bulbs (800 lumens each), you can achieve up to 4800 lumens - bright enough to illuminate a large dining room or foyer as a primary light source.
Light color and feel
Bulb color temperature is your choice. For a warm, inviting glow similar to traditional incandescent, use 2700K-3000K LED bulbs. The gold leaf highlights will reflect warm light beautifully. Dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch allow you to adjust ambiance from bright dinner parties to soft, intimate meals.

The chandelier measures 30 inches wide and 40 inches high. It is designed for rooms with at least 8 ft ceilings; for higher ceilings, consider a longer chain (not included). The fixture weighs 29.1 lbs and requires secure mounting to a ceiling joist or support.
