Spanish-Style Wrought Iron Chandelier: Rustic Elegance for Every Room

The Spanish-Style Wrought Iron Chandelier is the epitome of Old-World charm meeting contemporary craftsmanship. Hand-forged in Mexico by skilled artisans, this chandelier brings architectural scale, sculptural form, and ambient illumination to any interior space.

With its two tiers of six gracefully scrolled arms—twelve in total—it offers both visual drama and balanced light distribution. From mission-style lobbies and grand foyer stairwells to intimate dining rooms and cozy family spaces, the chandelier’s sweeping curves, hand-forged scrollwork, and faux-wax candle sleeves invite warmth and character into every setting.

Heritage & Hand-Forged Tradition

Rooted in centuries-old Spanish forge techniques, each chandelier begins as raw iron bars heated in a charcoal furnace until malleable. Artisans use anvils and hammers to shape signature scrolls, tapering arms, and an octagonal central frame, securing joints with authentic rivets instead of welding.

The two-tier design—six arms on each level—recalls mission lanterns hung in cloisters, while the deep patina evokes craftsmanship preserved through family workshops in Santa Clara del Cobre.

Elegant Living Room Centerpiece

Installation & Care

For proper artisan iron chandelier installation, reinforce ceiling joists. Hang so the lowest edge is ≥ 7 ft above the floor or 30–36 in above tables.

Dust monthly with a soft microfiber cloth; for deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild pH-neutral soap, then dry immediately. Remove shades periodically for a gentle wash. Apply clear paste wax or light mineral oil annually to Rusted Patina and Natural Iron finishes to preserve patina depth and protect against humidity.
