Faceted Polyhedron Glass Empire Silhouette Brass
Smoke Gray Crystal Empire Chandelier
Hundreds of faceted polyhedron glass prisms each hand-cut in translucent smoke gray overlap in cascading tiers, building outward from a small top ring to a wide central body and tapering back into a pointed drop. Light passes through the gray glass and reads soft and silvery rather than colorful, with the gold metal frame and fabric-wrapped suspension cord providing warm contrast at the canopy. At 31.5 across, the Smoke Gray Empire suits dining tables, foyers, staircases, hospitality lobbies, and contemporary residences as a single sophisticated focal piece.
Every faceted prism is individually hand-cut and finished. Facet angle, gray saturation, and surface texture vary slightly from piece to piece this scattering effect is part of the technique, not a defect. Smoke gray tone may also vary slightly across the fixture, reading deeper at the dense central tiers and lighter at the outer prisms.
Connects to a standard ceiling junction box. Standard hanging chain is 11.8 and can be extended on request to suit your ceiling height. The fabric-wrapped suspension cord is a visible design element confirm canopy placement is in a clean line of sight from below.

The Empire silhouette is a chandelier shape that emerged in late-18th and early-19th century French interiors during the First Empire period. The signature is the inverted-pyramid form: a small ring at the top widens through stacked tiers of crystal or glass, then tapers back to a pointed drop at the bottom. It became one of the defining shapes of European chandelier design and remains widely used today across traditional, transitional, and contemporary interiors. The Smoke Gray version pulls the form toward modern through its muted color and clean polyhedron facets.
Where does it look best?Dining rooms with rectangular or round tables seating 46, mid-size foyers with 910 ft ceilings, mid-landing of staircases, and hospitality lobbies. The smoke gray reads sophisticated rather than dramatic, working well against neutral palettes (white, cream, taupe, light gray) as well as against richer interiors (charcoal walls, dark wood, deep marble). At 31.5, this is a focal piece for rooms 1216 ft across for larger spaces consider a wider Empire fixture from the Prism Series.
What bulbs work best?Candle-form LED bulbs (E12 or E14, depending on the unit shipped), max 15W each, 2700K warm white. Clear bulbs are preferred the warm filament shows through the smoke gray glass and lifts the gray tones with amber depth. Avoid cool-white (4000K+) bulbs they flatten the gray glass and remove the warmth from the brass frame. LED keeps heat low. Bulbs not included.
Is it dimmable?Yes when paired with dimmable LED bulbs and a compatible Triac or trailing-edge dimmer (sold separately). Dimming brings out warmer amber tones in the smoke gray glass and is recommended for dining and lounge installations.
Is the Smoke Gray Empire certified for North America?Yes. It holds certifications compatible with North America, Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Australia and operates on AC 110240V worldwide.
