An 8-light chandelier with a transitional design, finished in sand coal with vintage brass accents, suitable for damp-rated spaces like dining rooms and living rooms.
The Rare Elements chandelier by Minka Metropolitan combines a bold, sculptural frame with a two-tone sand coal and vintage brass finish. The open cage design allows light to filter through, creating dramatic shadows and a warm, inviting glow. This fixture makes a statement in both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Best for
- Dining rooms with tables 48-60 inches long, hung 30-36 inches above the tabletop
- Living rooms and great rooms with high ceilings, serving as a focal point above a seating area
- Covered patios or sunrooms (damp-rated) for an elegant outdoor dining or lounge space
- Entryways with two-story ceilings, hung at a height that draws the eye upward
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 feet - the 20-inch width may overwhelm the space
- Outdoor areas exposed to direct rain - damp-rated only, not wet-rated
How bright is it?
With eight 60W max bulbs (not included), the fixture can produce up to approximately 6400 lumens using 800-lumen LED bulbs - comparable to a 400W incandescent. This is bright enough for ambient lighting in large rooms up to 20x20 feet.
Light color and feel
Use warm white bulbs (2700K-3000K) to complement the vintage brass accents and create a cozy, intimate atmosphere. The open design allows light to scatter in all directions, reducing harsh shadows. Dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch allow you to adjust brightness for different occasions.
Sizing and fit
The chandelier measures 20 inches in diameter and 14.63 inches in height. It includes a chain and canopy (length not specified; typically 6-12 feet of chain). Ensure your ceiling height can accommodate the desired hanging length. Assembly is required.
