Casa Bella Decor brings 87 chandeliers from two distinguished lighting brands. Provence Home specializes in hand-carved wood chandeliers with authentic French farmhouse character, while Uttermost, founded in 1975 in Rocky Mount, Virginia, offers crystal, brass, and modern designs. Together, these collections span from rustic Shabby Chic to contemporary elegance.

Prices range from $605 for carved wood pendant lights to $2,000 for statement brass chandeliers. The Provence Home collection features hand-crafted pieces with aged patina finishes that look authentically European, while Uttermost chandeliers showcase crystal, textured gold, alabaster, and modern metal designs from their acclaimed designers including Carolyn Kinder, Grace Feyock, and Matthew Williams.

Provence Home chandeliers are meticulously hand-crafted from carved wood and finished with aged patina that evokes authentic French countryside farmhouses. Each piece features a Shabby Chic vintage time-worn finish applied by skilled artisans, creating lighting that appears genuinely antique rather than obviously new.

Distressed Wood Finishes

The collection offers carved wood chandeliers in Distressed Cream and Gold, French Grey and Gold, Aged White and Gold, Aged Taupe, Antiqued Brown and Gold, and Antique Gold. Each finish is hand-applied to create natural-looking wear patterns, exposed wood grain, and subtle color variations that distinguish artisan work from factory production.

Multi-Arm Chandeliers

Statement pieces include 8-arm and 12-arm chandeliers ranging from $1,249 to $1,671. The Distressed French Grey and Gold 8-arm chandelier ($1,671) combines carved wood with antiqued metal arms for dramatic presence in dining rooms and entryways. The Aged Gold 8-arm design ($1,628) brings warm metallic tones to formal spaces.

Pendant and Lantern Styles

Smaller spaces benefit from carved wood shade pendants starting at $605. The Distressed Cream lantern chandelier with seeded glass panels ($864) offers enclosed design that works in kitchens and breakfast nooks. Three-tiered designs like the Distressed Cream with Gold Accents ($864) create vertical interest without overwhelming room scale.

Uttermost has crafted quality lighting since 1975, operating from their 659,000 square foot Virginia facility. The family-owned company, now led by CEO Mac Cooper, partners with renowned designers to create chandeliers that balance artistic vision with functional excellence.

Crystal Chandeliers

The Segovia Crystal Chandelier ($1,759.50) brings classic elegance with cut crystal elements that refract light throughout the room. Crystal chandeliers create dramatic sparkle suitable for formal dining rooms, entryways, and living rooms where you want maximum visual impact.

Brass and Gold Designs

Warm metal tones dominate Uttermost's contemporary offerings. The Arques in Warm Natural Brass ($1,896) features 8 lights with clean architectural lines. The Barcelona 6-light chandelier ($1,598.50) continues the brass theme with softer curves. The Corella Soft Gold 8-light ($1,044) and Seville Textured Gold 9-light ($1,346) offer alternative gold interpretations.

Modern and Sculptural

The Wedge 12-light LED chandelier ($1,826.40) represents Uttermost's modern direction with geometric forms and energy-efficient technology. The Kyoto features alabaster disks in a 4-light LED configuration ($1,714), blending natural stone with contemporary design. The Rhea chandelier ($1,087.20) showcases trimmed wooden branches creating organic sculptural presence.

Industrial and Transitional

The Warwick 6-light in Matte Black with textured finish ($1,322.50) suits industrial and transitional interiors. Black metal frames pair with virtually any color palette while providing visual weight that anchors room design.

Proper chandelier sizing ensures visual balance and adequate illumination. Several formulas help determine appropriate dimensions for different applications.

Room Size Formula

Add the room's length and width in feet, then convert to inches for approximate chandelier diameter. A 12-foot by 14-foot room suggests a chandelier around 26 inches in diameter. This formula provides starting point for visual proportion rather than rigid requirement.

Over Dining Tables

Chandeliers hung over dining tables should measure one-half to two-thirds the table width. A 42-inch round table pairs with 21 to 28-inch diameter chandelier. Linear chandeliers over rectangular tables should span one-third to two-thirds of the table length, leaving adequate clearance at each end.

Hanging Height

Over dining tables in rooms with 8-foot ceilings, hang chandeliers 30 to 36 inches above the table surface. Add 3 inches of height for each additional foot of ceiling height. In open areas without tables below, maintain minimum 7 feet from floor to bottom of fixture for safe passage.

Entryway and Foyer Sizing

Two-story foyers accommodate larger chandeliers that take advantage of vertical space. The fixture should hang at least 7 feet from the floor and 6 inches from the ceiling or any upper balcony overhang. Multi-tier designs work well in tall spaces where single-tier chandeliers might appear lost.

Hand-Carved Wood

Provence Home chandeliers feature solid carved wood construction with intricate scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and architectural details executed by skilled craftsmen. The carving process creates depth and shadow that enhance the aged patina finishes. Wood construction provides substantial visual weight appropriate for French country and farmhouse interiors.

Distressed and Aged Finishes

The Shabby Chic aesthetic relies on carefully applied distressing that simulates decades of natural wear. Artisans hand-rub paint layers, expose wood grain at edges and high points, and create subtle color variations that distinguish handwork from machine production. Each piece exhibits unique character from this manual finishing process.

Antiqued Metal

Metal components on Provence Home chandeliers receive antiqued treatments that complement the distressed wood. Arms, candle cups, and decorative elements feature darkened recesses and highlighted edges that suggest age and use. The combination of carved wood and antiqued metal creates cohesive vintage appearance.

Crystal and Glass

Uttermost crystal chandeliers use cut glass elements that maximize light refraction. Seeded glass panels on Provence Home lantern designs create textured light diffusion with vintage character. Both treatments transform electric light into atmospheric illumination that enhances room ambiance.

Brass and Gold Metals

Uttermost brass chandeliers offer warm, natural, soft gold, and textured gold finishes. Each treatment creates distinct character from polished elegance to aged patina. Brass pairs beautifully with both traditional and contemporary interiors, providing warmth that cool metals cannot match.

Chandelier installation requires attention to structural support, electrical requirements, and aesthetic positioning. Professional installation is recommended for most chandelier types.

Structural Support

Chandeliers require ceiling boxes rated for fixture weight. Standard ceiling boxes support up to 50 pounds. Heavier chandeliers need fan-rated boxes or additional bracing installed between ceiling joists. Carved wood chandeliers can weigh 30 to 60 pounds depending on size, requiring verification of ceiling support before installation.

Electrical Requirements

Most chandeliers in this collection use standard E12 candelabra base or E26 medium base bulbs. LED chandeliers from Uttermost include integrated LED modules with specific wattage ratings. Check product specifications for bulb type, quantity, and maximum wattage before purchasing bulbs. Dimmer compatibility varies by fixture and bulb type.

Chain and Stem Length

Chandeliers typically ship with standard chain or stem lengths that can be adjusted for ceiling height. Hanging hardware allows removing chain links or cutting stems to achieve desired hanging height. Extra chain can be purchased if ceilings are higher than standard. Measure carefully before cutting stems as this modification cannot be reversed.

Professional Installation

Licensed electricians ensure proper mounting, wiring, and code compliance. The investment in professional installation protects your chandelier investment and provides peace of mind regarding electrical safety. Many areas require licensed electrician work for new fixture installation.

Are Provence Home chandeliers made from real wood?

Yes, Provence Home chandeliers feature solid carved wood construction. Skilled artisans hand-carve each piece and apply distressed finishes individually. The substantial wood construction creates authentic weight and presence that distinguishes these fixtures from resin or composite reproductions.

What bulbs do these chandeliers require?

Most candle-style chandeliers use E12 candelabra base bulbs. Check product specifications for bulb quantity and maximum wattage. LED candelabra bulbs provide energy efficiency and reduced heat. Uttermost LED chandeliers include integrated LED modules that cannot be replaced with standard bulbs.

Can I use a dimmer with these chandeliers?

Most chandeliers work with dimmer switches when paired with dimmable bulbs. LED bulbs require LED-compatible dimmers for smooth dimming without flickering. Integrated LED fixtures from Uttermost may have specific dimmer requirements noted in product specifications. Consult an electrician if uncertain about dimmer compatibility.

How do I clean a carved wood chandelier?

Dust regularly with soft, dry cloth or feather duster. Avoid water or cleaning solutions that could damage wood finish or remove intentional distressing. For stubborn dust in carved details, use soft brush attachment on vacuum at low suction. Crystal elements can be wiped with glass cleaner on soft cloth.

Will the distressed finish wear off over time?

Provence Home finishes are applied to create permanent aged appearance. Normal use will not remove the distressing. The finish is designed to look authentically aged from installation day forward. Avoid abrasive cleaning that could damage the carefully applied patina.

How do I determine the right chandelier size for my space?

Add room length and width in feet, then convert to inches for approximate diameter. Over dining tables, choose fixtures measuring half to two-thirds of table width. Contact our team at 855.223.3267 for personalized sizing recommendations based on your specific room dimensions and ceiling height.
