Product details
The Coastal Style White Gesso Mercer Two Tier Chandelier brings sculptural presence to dining rooms and entryways with its handcrafted plaster-inspired finish. A chandelier is an elevated lighting fixture suspended from the ceiling that uses multiple light sources to illuminate and define a space while serving as a central design feature. The Coastal Style White Gesso Mercer Two Tier Chandelier from Jamie Young is available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping. This two-tier design draws from early 1900s Parisian gesso techniques, where artisans applied layered plaster over steel frames to create textured, dimensional surfaces that soften ambient light and add architectural interest to modern and coastal interiors.

Why Choose This Two Tier Chandelier from Sideboards and Things?
This fixture works beautifully over dining tables, in double-height foyers, or above kitchen islands where its 36-inch width provides balanced illumination without overwhelming the room. The white gesso finish reflects light softly, creating warmth that complements natural wood dining furniture, woven textures, and the relaxed palette of coastal living spaces. Pair it with pieces from our beaded chandelier collection for layered texture, or browse our brass chandeliers for contrasting metallic accents. The steel construction ensures long-term durability, while the 8-foot chain allows for custom height adjustment to suit standard or vaulted ceilings.
How Does Gesso Construction Differ from Standard Finishes?
Gesso is a plaster-based coating traditionally applied over metal or wood frames to create a smooth, matte surface with subtle texture variations. Inspired by Parisian "Plaster of Paris" methods from the early 20th century, gesso finishing adds dimensional depth that painted metal cannot replicate, as each piece develops slight variations during the hand-application process. The technique produces a look that pairs equally well with modern minimalism and organic coastal interiors, bridging decorative styles that might clash with high-gloss or heavily distressed finishes. For maintenance, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth -- avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, and use only a lightly dampened cloth with water on the steel base if necessary to preserve the finish integrity.
