Ordering is a simple process. If the chandelier that speaks to your heart is available, then I will confirm ceiling height and placement location with you so that you get a fixture that fits your space. Your chandelier will then be ready to ship within a few days. You can pay via check, Paypal or credit card. I LOVE checks because there are no merchant fees. When you call you will speak directly to me.

Do you create custom painted chandeliers?

Yes, I create a lot of custom painted chandeliers. My page about Commissions explains the process a bit more in depth, click here. If you look through my collection on my Chandelier Gallery page you will get a good idea for my style. Colors are up to you!

How long does a custom painted chandelier or oil/watercolor painting take?

It depends on a few factors. A conservative answer is 4-8 weeks to receive. If you require a chandelier asap, let me know as I might be able to more your piece to the top of my list. With custom painted works of art, I frequently check-in with clients to give a status update. Keep in mind that this is a high-end art form and not a mass produced item so time is required for good work. One very good thing about working with me is that I’m always available to talk via phone or email even when I’m traveling.

Do you ship?

Yes, I’ve shipped to destinations all over the world. All of my chandeliers are professionally packed and fully insured. I guarantee my work. Where I live, I am UPS Store’s biggest small business client.

Can I see your work in a gallery close to me?

My chandeliers are represented by a few fine art galleries with lovely staff. If you contact me I can point you towards the closest art gallery..but unless you are planning a trip to a city where I have a gallery with a strong chandelier presentation, it’s best to view my work online here. I also offer studio visits via appointment. My studio is located in between San Francisco and Sacramento in a Delta city. My work in general has sold in galleries across the country over the past decade. I would be happy to put you in touch with a gallery if you want.

If you have seen my work already in an art gallery, let me know which gallery. That is greatly appreciated!

What are your set standard chandelier sizes?

24 inch glass diameter is my most requested size —this is what I hang in my own home
20 inch glass diameter is small size
28 inch glass diameter is a solid medium size
33 inch glass diameter is a fabulous large size
36 inch glass diameter is, of course, very large with a deeper bowl
Chandelier Info page offers more specifications.

How bright are the chandeliers?

The chandeliers are painted and are more ambient in nature but they do give off beautiful upbeat light. My fixtures are wired for 4 bulbs. With the purchase of a chandelier, I ship beautiful Complimentary LED lights, 100 watt equivalent. I’ve had collectors install chandeliers in every type of room but the two most common areas are foyers and dining rooms as the lighting is perfect for these spaces. It’s good to note that any room will ideally need multiple types of light sources to create ambiance to suit different situations. This is referred to as layered lighting.

Are LED bulbs dimmable?

Yes.

Can we have our irons in a different color?

Yes, if you want. We should talk about what you are looking for in a fixture color.

Do you offer other irons styles?

My hand forged fixture options are shown here, on Chandelier Info page.

I have a short ceiling, do you have an iron for this?

Yes, I have a semi-flush ceiling mount version for my chandeliers in multiple heights. I have solutions for most short ceilings even if you’d like to hang a large chandelier. You can read specs for fixture styles here.

Are the chandeliers easy to install?

Yes, they are easy and I recommend you use a licensed electrician. An electrician will make sure that you have a box in the ceiling that will support the weight of a chandelier. Many newer homes already have adequate support. If you had a ceiling fan or heavy chandelier in the intended place then you’re probably fine. My standard 24 inch glass diameter size chandelier weighs 25lbs -30lbs with 36 inch chandelier weighing 50lbs. I will provide you with a ceiling canopy and chain that is rated to support the weight of the piece that you purchase. If you are installing a chandelier where you do not have electrical then your licensed electrician can run wire for you.

How do I move my chandelier to a new home?

Please call me if you have questions: 925-625-7969. I can best suggest how to wrap and transport based on your circumstance. You will  want to supervise when your chandelier is being taken down to ensure that parts are not lost. I can forward the instruction sheets that you originally received with your chandelier which lists the parts. Moving is hectic, things happen. If you can transport your fine chandelier in your car that is recommended.

Moving to a new home at a future date?

Ask your electrician to leave some extra wiring, neatly wrapped up inside the box in the ceiling. This will stop them from cutting your wire short.
