Gingko Chandelier Style E

The choice is a design decision, not a size decision. Both Models share the same Rose Gold circular frame at every diameter — the difference is in how densely the porcelain ginkgo leaves cluster on that frame. Model A (dense radial) packs leaves closely in the full radial pattern; reads as sculptural botanical presence, holds visual weight, correct for statement dining rooms, grand foyers, hospitality reception, and interiors where the fixture is meant to command architectural attention. Model B (sparse airy) distributes roughly one-third fewer leaves across the same frame; reads as delicate French country arrangement with breathing space between leaves, correct for restrained dining rooms, primary bedrooms, powder rooms, mid-size foyers, and interiors with warm-white palette where breathable botanical composition matches the room's design vocabulary. When in doubt: Model A is more sculptural; Model B is more delicate. Same diameter available in both.

All three Linear Models are L 47.2" with G9×8 bulbs — the only difference is Width (cross-section). Model C (W 25.6" · full rectangular volume): for formal dining rooms and executive spaces where the fixture should hold three-dimensional sculptural presence with leaves distributed on all four sides of the frame. Model D (W 13.8" · narrow standard): for standard residential dining rooms and kitchen islands with 9-ft ceilings; the middle-ground linear composition. Model E (W 7.9" · ultra-slim): the narrowest linear composition in the entire Ginkgo Series — for kitchen islands with minimal cooking headspace, home bar counters with 8-ft residential ceilings, and any interior where the fixture must stay compressed near the ceiling plane. Model E's cross-section is roughly one-third of Model C's — same length, three completely different visual weights.

All three offer round drum compositions in the Ginkgo Series, each with different specifications. Style G — 2 Models × 7 configurations (Model A shallow flat 11.8" H, Model B deeper drum 15.7" H); the choice is drum height for standard-height ceilings; entry price $580, max Ø 47.2". Style F — 6 Models × 16 configurations covering round drum + rectangular linear + cascading; the choice is completely different forms across the family; entry price $550, max Ø 47.2" for round. Style E (this fixture) — 5 Models × 12 configurations with the unique leaf density choice (Model A dense vs Model B sparse at same diameters); + Model A Dia 59.1" is the largest round Ginkgo Chandelier in the series; + Model E linear at ultra-slim W 7.9" is the narrowest linear composition. Choose Style E when you want the density choice (dense vs sparse) or when you want either the largest round drum or the narrowest linear in the Ginkgo Series.

Minimum ceiling requirements depend on Model. Model E (ultra-slim 7.9" fixture H): 8-ft ceilings work comfortably — the ultra-slim cross-section keeps the fixture compressed near the ceiling plane. Model D (13.8" H) & Model B (11.8-13.8" H): 8-9-ft ceilings recommended. Model A (11.8" H · small-to-mid sizes): 8-9-ft residential ceilings work. Model C (13.8" H rectangular volume): 9-10 ft recommended for the fixture's Width to read as intended. Model A Ø 47.2"/59.1" (larger flagship): 10-12 ft recommended, with 12-ft-plus offering the fixture visual space to read as intended architectural botanical composition. Add wire length (59" standard, adjustable) to fixture height when calculating total drop. Extended wire lengths available at no extra charge for all Models.

Yes, at no extra charge across all five Models. The default is Rose Gold — a warm pink-gold register that pairs particularly well with matte-white porcelain and reads as sophisticated modern French country. Alternative finishes: Copper Gold (warmer classical register), Nickel (cool neutral), Chrome (silver-modern), White (monochrome), Gold (traditional yellow), Black (architectural contemporary). Specify at checkout by leaving a note, or write to support@stuberlighting.com within 24 hours of order placement. For French country interiors specifying warm palettes, Rose Gold or Copper Gold typically read most complementary.

Yes — strongly recommended across all Models and configurations, particularly Model A higher-bulb-count variants (Ø 47.2" uses 12 G9, Ø 59.1" flagship uses 16 G9). The included G9 LEDs are non-dimmable warm-white. Replace with dimmable G9 LEDs (widely available, $10-18 each) and install a triac-compatible wall dimmer. At 40-60% brightness, the porcelain leaves catch light at their most atmospheric register — the fixture reads as French country botanical composition rather than as bright task illumination. For dining rooms and hospitality, dimmable control is essentially required to enable evening-service and event-mode lighting scenes.

Moderate to substantial depending on Model and size. The ceramic leaves ship packed separately from the frame — they attach individually with small screws at installation, and time depends on Model and leaf count. Small configurations (Model B Ø 23.6", Model E ultra-slim, Model D): 90 min to 2 hours, 1 licensed electrician sufficient. Mid-size (Models A/B mid-diameters, Model C rectangular): 2-3 hours, 1 electrician + 1 assistant recommended. Larger (Model A Ø 47.2", Ø 59.1" flagship): 3-4 hours, 2-person licensed installation team strongly recommended for lifting and assembling the round drum during installation. Detailed installation instructions ship with every order. Customer reviews consistently note that installation is time-consuming (particularly attaching over 50-100+ leaves individually) but the finished result is worth the effort.

The matte-white porcelain is straightforward to maintain across all Models. Dust with a soft dry microfibre cloth or feather duster; every 3-6 months for residential dining rooms and living rooms, quarterly for kitchen-island installations. Model B's sparse composition is easier to clean than Model A's dense radial (leaf-to-leaf clearance makes access simpler); Model E's ultra-slim linear is the fastest to clean. For accumulated residue, a lightly-damp cloth (water only) restores the finish; never use ammonia, glass cleaner, or abrasive sponges. The Rose Gold frame wipes with a dry microfibre cloth — avoid brass polish or metal cleaner (which strip the protective sealing). For Model A larger configurations (Ø 47.2"/59.1"), plan for 45-90 minutes of thorough cleaning per session because of leaf count.

Yes — the Style E is a specified fixture line for French country boutique-hospitality residential-scale interior projects. Because Model A and Model B share the same frame but with different densities, designers can specify the same diameter in different Models across different rooms (e.g., Model A in dining, Model B in bedroom) with visual consistency of Rose Gold framing. Trade pricing available; matched-batch porcelain coordination for multi-room installations; custom frame finishes; extended wire lengths at no extra charge. Model A Dia 59.1" flagship is particularly specified for boutique-hotel reception and French country hospitality flagship rooms. Production lead times run 4-6 weeks; multi-fixture orders and the Model A Dia 59.1" flagship may extend proportionally depending on ceramic kiln capacity.
