Gilt Brass Tole · Hand-Painted Ceramic Flowers · 6-Light French Chandelier
A French tole foliate chandelier in the 19th-century Louis XV–Louis XVI vocabulary that defined American Gilded Age and Beaux-Arts dining rooms — a gilt brass crown caps the canopy, six scrolled brass arms curve outward in classic tôle dorée rhythm, and hand-painted ceramic blossoms in pink and rose are wired into the foliage along the lower body. The brass is sand-cast and chased; the ceramic flowers are individually painted and fired before being attached.
Drawn from the French country-house and Italian Tuscan-villa tôle tradition. Suited to formal dining rooms, primary entry foyers, breakfast nooks, primary-suite seating areas, and powder rooms in 4,000+ sq ft estates, luxury hotel suites, members-club libraries, and Federal, Greek Revival, French Country, and Hollywood Regency historic-restoration projects.

Sand-Cast Gilt Brass
Crown, scrolled arms, and bobeches sand-cast and chased in solid brass — period-correct gilt finish.
Hand-Painted Ceramic Flowers
Pink and rose ceramic blossoms hand-painted and fired individually, then wired into the foliate body.
Six Open Candle Lights
Six scrolled candle arms terminating in brass bobeches and exposed candelabra sockets — period-correct candle-light reading.
Dimensions
6-Light · Single Standard Size
Ø 22″ × H 29.5″
Ø 56 × H 75 cm — plus 19.7″ (50 cm) supplied chain
Suited to dining tables 48–66″ long, primary entry foyers with 9–11 ft ceilings, and breakfast nooks in 4,000+ sq ft homes. Longer chain available on request.
Please Note — Hand-Painted Variation
Hand-painted ceramic and chased brass — every fixture is unique. Flower placement, paint depth, gilt patina, and chasing detail vary subtly piece to piece; your fixture will not match the photos at the detail level.
Reinforced ceiling support recommended. Approx. 12–18 kg (26–40 lbs) — your electrician should anchor to a joist or use a UL-listed fixture brace.

- Licensed electrician required. Hardwired ceiling pendant via supplied canopy plate and chain.
- Specialist installer recommended — ceramic flowers are individually wired into the foliate body and can shift during un-crating; handle by the brass arms only.
- Confirm ceiling support: 12–18 kg is at the upper edge of standard junction-box rating — UL-listed fixture brace or joist anchor recommended.
- Hang the lower edge 30–34″ above the dining table, or 7 ft+ above the floor in foyer walking zones.
- Bulbs supplied by installer. Clear candle LEDs at 2700K — clear envelope reads best with the gilt brass and hand-painted ceramic detail.

FAQ
What size dining table or room does it suit? +
The Ø 22″ frame suits dining tables 48–66″ long — typical of seating for 4 to 8. For breakfast nooks and round bistro tables, the fixture works above 36–54″ tables. For primary entry foyers it suits 9–11 ft ceilings; for taller foyers, longer chain is available on request. Hang the lower edge 30–34″ above the dining table top.
Will my fixture match the photographs? +
The brass crown and silhouette are made to consistent specification — your fixture will read identically in form. The ceramic flowers, however, are hand-painted and individually wired: flower placement, paint depth, exact pink tone, and gilt patina differ subtly between fixtures. The chandelier you receive will sit within the same visual language as the photographs but will be visibly distinct under close inspection — the character of hand-painted French tole work.
How heavy is it and what ceiling support do I need? +
Approximately 12–18 kg (26–40 lbs) assembled — at the upper edge of standard residential junction-box rating (≈ 25 kg / 55 lbs). Your electrician should install a UL-listed heavy-duty fixture brace or anchor to a structural joist for long-term reliability. Contact us for confirmed shipping weight before installation.
What bulbs should I use? +
6 candelabra-base candle bulbs, supplied by your installer. We recommend clear-envelope candle LEDs at 2700K warm white, ≤ 25W incandescent-equivalent. Clear glass reads best with the gilt brass and hand-painted ceramic — frosted bulbs flatten the period-correct candle-light effect and are not recommended. For period-faithful flame effect, dimmable LED candelabra bulbs with flickering filament profile are widely available from US specialty retailers.
Is it dimmable? Lutron-compatible? +
Standard wiring is non-dimming. TRIAC-dimmable wiring is available as a custom build — please specify when contacting us before ordering. Compatible with Lutron Caséta, Diva, and forward-phase wall dimmers when paired with dimmable LED candelabra bulbs.
Custom finishes & trade? +
Custom builds: alternative gilt finishes (antique brass, French gilt with rubbed highlights, silver-plated brass) and alternative ceramic flower colors (white, blue, peach, sage) quotable on request. Hospitality-grade construction suits luxury hotel suites, members-club libraries, French Country and Hollywood Regency residential projects, and historic-restoration projects. ETL listing available on request. Contact our trade desk for project-quantity coordination.
