Buying Guide

Choose a fixture diameter about one-half to two-thirds the width of your dining table so the chandelier reads as a centered focal point without overwhelming the space

Gold and black-and-gold finishes in these models work with mid-century and modern palettes—select a finish that complements your table, hardware, and room accents

Check mounting style and ceiling height

Semi-flush and suspended Sputnik designs require different clearances; confirm your ceiling height and preferred drop so the fixture sits comfortably above the table
