The Melanie Architectural Wrought Iron Chandelier combines a tall, tapered iron framework with sculptural candle arms and an open circular base. Its slender construction gives the fixture substantial vertical presence while preserving the surrounding architecture. Made to order in the USA by Ashore Lighting, Melanie is available in three sizes with 8, 10, or 12 lights, ten signature finishes, and optional wax covers or natural alabaster shades.

Key Features:

  • Tall, Tapered Architectural Framework — Slender iron supports rise from an open circular base, creating a pronounced vertical silhouette without enclosing the candle lights.
  • Individually Formed Candle Arms — Restrained curves, tapered candle cups, and wrapped iron details introduce visual movement and distinguish the fixture from conventional ring chandeliers.
  • Three Proportioned Lighting Configurations — Available in 28", 36", and 42" diameters with 8, 10, and 12 lights respectively, allowing the composition to scale with the interior.
  • Ten Signature Finishes and Cover Options — Standard covers are included, with optional wax covers or natural alabaster shades available in four distinctive stone colors.
  • Made in the USA. Made to Order. — Ashore Lighting manufactures Melanie with custom sizing, suspension requirements, and select design modifications available by arrangement.

Some chandeliers establish their presence through ornamentation. Others achieve it through the discipline of their construction.

The Melanie Architectural Wrought Iron Chandelier belongs to the latter tradition. Its tall, tapered framework rises from an open circular base toward a compact suspension crown, creating a composed architectural silhouette defined by iron, proportion, and light.

Within this framework, individually formed candle arms extend upward at varying positions. Their restrained curves introduce movement against the chandelier's more linear supporting structure, while tapered candle cups and wrapped iron details reveal the character of the metalwork.

The result is a fixture that feels substantial without appearing visually enclosed.

Melanie is particularly suited to interiors where a chandelier must occupy meaningful vertical space while allowing the surrounding architecture to remain visible. Foyers, stair halls, great rooms, and dining spaces can accommodate its expressive proportions, provided appropriate ceiling height and installation clearance are available.

Unlike broad, shallow chandeliers, Melanie emphasizes height as much as diameter. Its open lower ring provides a visual foundation, while the ascending ironwork draws attention toward the suspension point.

Three standard configurations are available. The 28" diameter features eight lights, the 36" diameter features ten lights, and the 42" diameter features twelve lights. The corresponding heights range from 42" to 48".

Choose from ten signature finishes to coordinate the ironwork with surrounding architectural materials. Standard candle covers are included. Wax covers are available as an upgrade, while natural alabaster shades introduce softly diffused illumination and the individual veining of natural stone. Four alabaster colors are available when the alabaster option is selected.

Melanie is made to order in the USA by Ashore Lighting, a third-generation lighting manufacturer.

Because we design and manufacture our own lighting, our in-house team can evaluate custom dimensions, suspension lengths, finish direction, and select modifications for individual architectural projects.

Melanie reflects an enduring principle of iron lighting: the structure need not be concealed when its construction is central to the design.

A Study in Vertical Proportion and Forged Iron

The Melanie chandelier uses height, restraint, and individually formed ironwork to establish its architectural presence. Slender supports connect a compact upper crown to an open circular base, while rising candle arms introduce subtle movement throughout the composition. Available in three sizes, Melanie offers a different interpretation of traditional wrought iron lighting—one defined by visible construction rather than elaborate ornamentation. Made in the USA by Ashore Lighting, each fixture is produced to order with ten signature finishes and customization available by arrangement.

FAQ

Melanie is available in three standard configurations. The 28" diameter has eight lights, the 36" diameter has ten lights, and the 42" diameter has twelve lights. Each configuration preserves the chandelier's distinctive tapered framework and open circular base.

Melanie emphasizes vertical proportion rather than a broad horizontal ring. Its slender supporting framework rises from an open circular base toward a compact upper crown, while individually formed candle arms extend through the composition. This produces a taller, more architectural silhouette.

Melanie's 42" and 48" standard heights make it particularly relevant to interiors with meaningful vertical space. Suitability depends on the ceiling height, installation location, suspension length, and required clearance. Ashore Lighting can help review dimensions and discuss modifications for vaulted ceilings or other architectural conditions.

Yes. Melanie includes standard covers, with wax covers and natural alabaster shades available as upgrades. The alabaster options are Amber, White, Amber with Red Veining, and White with Amber Veining. Because alabaster is natural stone, individual shades will vary in color, veining, and translucency.

Yes. Because we manufacture our own lighting, Ashore Lighting can evaluate custom diameters, overall heights, suspension lengths, finishes, and select design modifications. Contact our team before ordering to discuss project requirements and manufacturing feasibility.
