The Classic Maria Theresa Light is an Art Deco-inspired chandelier — a scalloped wavy brass frame supports vertical clear glass rods that hang in a cascading fringe pattern. Available in 4 sizes (∅15.7" / 23.6" / 31.5" / 37.4") for dining rooms, foyers, entryways, living rooms, bedrooms, hotel reception areas, restaurants, retail showrooms, and Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, mid-century glamour, and contemporary minimalist interiors. Polished brass finish with E14 or E12 candelabra base bulbs.
⚠ Indoor dry location only
The Classic Maria Theresa Light 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. Glass rods can collect condensation and brass tarnishes faster in damp air. For damp or outdoor spaces, choose a wet- or damp-location fixture.
Each glass rod is hand-cut
The glass rods on the Classic Maria Theresa Light are individually cut and finished. Rods within the same chandelier may have minor length variations and faint surface marks where the glass was scored — these natural characteristics catch light differently across the fringe and add depth to the cascading effect. They are not defects.
Scalloped Wavy Brass Frame
Curved polished brass ring with multiple peaks and valleys for sculpted profile.
Cascading Glass Rod Fringe
Hand-cut clear glass rods at varying lengths catch light and refract it downward.
4 Sizes
∅15.7" intimate to ∅37.4" statement — including a wide flush-mount style.
Hanging height for dining tables
Hang the bottom of the Classic Maria Theresa Light 30-36 inches above the dining table or kitchen island surface. The standard hanging rod is 19.7" (50 cm), extendable on request. The Wide/Flush ∅37.4" version is designed for low 8-9 ft ceilings — its short drop keeps the fixture close to the ceiling.
Match diameter to room proportions
For dining tables, chandelier diameter should be roughly 1/2 to 2/3 of the table width. For open foyers and entryways, diameter should be approximately (room length in feet + room width in feet) inches — for example, a 12×14 ft foyer suggests a ~26-inch diameter chandelier, so Size M.
Pair the right bulb for sparkle
Choose clear-glass E14 or E12 candelabra LED bulbs (2-3W, Warm White 2700K). The glass rods refract light from each bulb — clear-glass filament-style LEDs maximize the sparkle through the fringe. Frosted bulbs mute the effect significantly. Bulbs sold separately.

Which size of Classic Maria Theresa Light fits my room?
Size S (∅15.7"): breakfast nook, bedside, vanity, foyer accent, narrow hallway. Size M (∅23.6"): 4-6 seat dining room, small kitchen island, single-story foyer. Size L (∅31.5"): 8-seat dining room, two-story foyer, hotel reception, larger kitchen island. Wide/Flush (∅37.4" × H13.8"): widest with shortest drop — designed for low 8-9 ft ceilings, wide hallways, restaurant booth zones, and bedrooms with limited vertical clearance. Standard rule: chandelier diameter ≈ 1/2 to 2/3 of dining table width.
Will the glass rods on my Classic Maria Theresa Light look exactly like the photo?
Very close, but every Classic Maria Theresa Light has minor variation. Glass rods are individually hand-cut and finished, so within the same chandelier rods may have small length differences and faint surface marks where the glass was scored. These natural characteristics catch light differently across the fringe and add depth — they are not defects.
What bulb does the Classic Maria Theresa Light use, and is it dimmable?
E14 or E12 candelabra base bulbs. Recommended: 2-3W clear-glass filament-style LED at Warm White 2700K. Clear glass maximizes the refraction effect through the glass rods — frosted bulbs mute the sparkle. Total: 5, 8, or 13 bulbs depending on size. Bulbs sold separately. Dimmable with dimmable E14 or E12 LED bulbs and a compatible TRIAC or trailing-edge wall dimmer.
How do I clean the brass frame and glass rods?
Brass frame: dust weekly with a soft dry microfiber cloth. To slow natural patina, use brass polish (Brasso, Wright's Brass) once or twice a year — apply with a soft cloth, follow product instructions. Avoid abrasive scrubbers. Glass rods: dust with a soft brush or feather duster. For visible smudges, wipe gently with a barely-damp microfiber cloth and dry immediately. Avoid spraying glass cleaner directly on the chandelier — spray onto the cloth first to keep liquid away from electrical components.
Can I install the Classic Maria Theresa Light in a bathroom or covered porch?
No. The Classic Maria Theresa Light is rated for indoor dry locations only. Glass rods can collect condensation and brass tarnishes faster in humid 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 wet- or damp-location fixture.
