Antique Brass Chandelier
Antique Brass Chandelier
The Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier is a classic transitional chandelier with a polished brass hoop frame, radiating candle-style arms, and white linen drum shades that diffuse a warm soft glow. Available in 4 sizes — 5, 6, 8, or 10 lights — for dining rooms, kitchen islands, foyers, entryways, living rooms, breakfast nooks, two-story spaces, and grand staircases. Brass chain suspension adjusts to your ceiling height. E14 candelabra base accepts LED or incandescent bulbs.
⚠ Indoor dry locations only — linen shades and brass must stay dry
The Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier is rated for indoor dry locations. Do not install in bathrooms above a tub or shower, kitchens directly above a sink or stove, screened porches, covered patios, or any outdoor area. White linen absorbs humidity and steam — it discolors, yellows, develops mildew, and can stain permanently. Brass also tarnishes faster in damp air. For damp or outdoor spaces, choose a UL-rated wet- or damp-location fixture.

Scale up from breakfast nook to grand foyer — same design, four diameters.
Hanging height above a dining table
Hang the bottom of the Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier 30-36 inches above the dining table surface. The 19.7-inch brass chain can be shortened by removing links during installation or extended on request — email info@vakkerlight.com if your ceiling exceeds 12 feet.
Brass develops a natural patina over time
The polished brass finish on the Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier is uncoated solid brass. Over months and years, it develops a warmer, deeper antique patina — this is part of the natural aging process for real brass and is a desired feature for transitional and classic interiors. To slow patina, dust the brass weekly with a soft dry cloth.
Match the room and table proportions
The Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier's diameter should be roughly 1/2 to 2/3 the width of your dining table or kitchen island. For a foyer or open space, the diameter should be (room length in feet + room width in feet) inches — for example, a 12×14 ft foyer suggests a ~26-inch diameter chandelier, so Size S or M.

Which size of Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier fits my dining room or foyer?
Match the chandelier diameter to the table or room. 5-light (∅28"): 4-seat dining room, breakfast nook, entryway accent. 6-light (∅29.1"): standard 6-seat dining room, single-story foyer, mid-size living room. 8-light (∅33.5"): 8-seat dining room, larger kitchen island, two-story foyer. 10-light (∅41.7"): grand dining room, two-story entryway, hotel lobby, banquet hall.

How is the brass chain adjusted during installation?
The Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier ships with a 19.7-inch (50 cm) brass chain. A licensed electrician can shorten the drop by removing chain links during install — most chains can be opened with pliers or replaced with a custom length. For extended drops above 10-foot ceilings, request a longer chain before ordering (additional fee may apply for chains beyond 60 inches). Email info@vakkerlight.com with your ceiling height for guidance.
What bulb does the Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier use, and is it dimmable?
Each arm of the Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier holds one E14 candelabra base bulb. Warm White 2700-3000K LED with a candle or flame shape gives the classic chandelier look. Total bulb count: 5, 6, 8, or 10 depending on chosen size. Bulbs sold separately. Dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 LED bulbs and a compatible TRIAC or trailing-edge wall dimmer. The total wattage at 100% with 4W LEDs is 20-40W (low energy use across all sizes).
How do I clean the brass and linen shades?
Brass: dust weekly with a soft dry microfiber cloth. To slow natural patina, use a brass polish (Brasso, Wright's) once or twice a year — apply with a soft cloth, follow product instructions. Do not use abrasive scrubbers. Linen shades: dust gently with a soft brush or vacuum on low suction with a brush attachment. Do not use water, soap, or fabric cleaners — they can stain or shrink the linen. For stubborn marks, contact info@vakkerlight.com for replacement shade options.
Can I install the Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier in a bathroom or covered porch?
No. The Brass Hoop Linen Chandelier is rated for indoor dry locations only. White linen shades absorb humidity, steam, and water — they discolor, yellow, and develop mildew that cannot be removed. Brass also tarnishes faster in damp air. Do not install in bathrooms above a tub or shower, kitchens directly above a sink or stove, screened porches, covered patios, or any outdoor area. For damp or outdoor spaces, choose a UL-rated wet- or damp-location chandelier.
