They spring outward and upward from a chrome frame in four descending rings, each tier narrower than the one above, so the fixture opens like a palm crown seen from beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e39.4 inches across\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a wide, spreading fixture rather than a deep one. It fills a ceiling horizontally, which is what the form is for — the fluting runs outward along every leaf, so light is carried along those channels to the tips and the whole crown glows at its edges rather than only at its centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the fluting matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep channels, not a smooth face.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each leaf is ribbed along its whole length.

Over a dining table it suits tables of 84 inches or more, with the lowest leaves 30 to 34 inches above the tabletop. It also works in a large entry, a formal living room, or any space wide enough to carry a metre of glass without crowding it. At 29.5 inches deep it is shallower than its width, so it hangs acceptably on a standard eight-foot ceiling over a table — but it should not go anywhere people walk directly beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplied chain is 19.7 inches, which is more generous than most and suits a dining room without modification. Longer chain is available on request — contact us with your ceiling height and desired drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a large fixture carrying a great deal of glass across a wide frame. Mount it to a ceiling box rated for a chandelier of this size and fixed to structural framing or a purpose-installed brace, have a licensed electrician confirm the fixing before installation, and plan for two or three people to hang it. Fit the frame first and the leaves afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big is the Palmette and what does it cost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e39.4 inches across and 29.5 inches tall (100 x 75 cm), excluding the chain. $5,000 USD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many bulbs does it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwelve, all E14 small screw base. E14 is smaller than the E26 and E27 bases common in North America; in the United States, E12 candelabra bulbs are the closest widely stocked equivalent, and we can confirm fit for your installation. Choose 2700K warm white, or 3000K if you want the clear glass to read cooler and more crystalline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the fluting etched onto the glass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The deep channels are formed in the glass while it is hot, which is why each leaf has real depth and carries light along its length out to the tip. Etched glass produces a flatter, drier surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill every leaf look the same?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The scalloped edges are worked by hand while the glass is molten, so the rippling differs slightly from leaf to leaf. That variation is what gives the assembled crown its movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this crystal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is clear formed glass rather than cut lead crystal. The fluting refracts light into bright channels, so the effect is comparable in brilliance, but the character is softer and more organic than faceted crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit a standard ceiling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a dining table, yes — at 29.5 inches deep it is shallow for its width. But it is nearly 40 inches across, so it needs a room with the floor area to carry it, and it should not be hung where people walk directly underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is the chain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50 cm \/ 19.7 inches as supplied, which is longer than the chain on most fixtures of this kind and usually sufficient for a dining room without modification. It can be changed on request — contact us with your ceiling height before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it dimmable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs on a common wall switch and has no built-in dimming, so it depends on the bulbs. Dimmable LED or filament bulbs on a compatible wall dimmer will dim, and with twelve lamps in clear glass it is well worth doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does it need to hang from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ceiling box rated for a chandelier of this size, fixed to structural framing or a purpose-installed brace. A standard light-fixture box is not sufficient. Have a licensed electrician confirm the mounting before installation, and plan for two or three people to hang it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust each leaf with a soft dry brush, working along the flutes where dust settles, and support the leaf as you work. Clear glass shows dust far more readily than coloured glass, so expect to clean it more often than a tinted fixture. Do not spray cleaner onto the fixture; dampen a cloth instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it work outside the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It accepts AC 110-240 V and carries certification compatible with North America, Europe, Saudi Arabia, and Australia, so it runs on either a 120 V or a 220-240 V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is an indoor fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malane Lighting","offers":[{"title":"Clear \/ L39.4\" x H29.5\" (100 x 75 cm) — 12 lights","offer_id":67401038102818,"sku":"ML-PALM-100-CLR","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/6511\/0562\/files\/89060a6437b5b84968895d1aa2544f90.png?v=1790713516","url":"https:\/\/malanelighting.com\/products\/palmette-chandelier","provider":"Malane Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
