Product details
Light your dining room or entryway with artisan craftsmanship inspired by traditional European plasterwork. A chandelier is a multi-arm ceiling fixture designed to hold multiple bulbs, often serving as the centerpiece of a room's lighting design. The Coastal Style White Gesso Mid-Century Park Chandelier available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping brings sculptural texture and organic form to modern interiors with its hand-applied gesso finish over a steel frame. This eight-light fixture spans 32 inches wide, making it ideal for spaces that need presence without overwhelming scale, from beaded chandelier galleries to contemporary coastal dining rooms.

Where Does This Chandelier Work Best?
The 32-inch width suits dining tables six to eight feet long, kitchen islands, and foyers with eight-foot or higher ceilings. The white gesso finish -- a traditional plaster-over-steel technique dating to early 1900s Paris -- adds tactile dimension that works beautifully with natural wood sideboards, linen upholstery, and the clean lines found in brass chandelier pairings or layered with black chandelier accents in adjacent rooms. The eight-socket configuration provides ample illumination while the organic silhouette keeps the look open and airy, never heavy.
How Should I Care for a Gesso Finish?
Wipe the chandelier gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If needed, use a lightly dampened cloth with water only on the metal armature, avoiding abrasive cleaners that can damage the plaster surface. The white gesso develops character over time, showing subtle variations that enhance its handcrafted appeal, much like the historical pieces displayed in antique chandelier collections.
