Formosa is a chandelier from Maxim Lighting. It comes in 2 sizes: 6-Light, 27 in and 8-Light, 32 in. It is finished in Ecru/Venetian Gold.
The Design Story
Operatic in proportion, this chandelier gathers swollen curves in hand-painted ecru or golden finishes, a scale that nods to grand agrarian manors. The glass and steel construction carries a rich, painterly surface, and the volume makes a statement in tall rooms and sweeping stairwells. Despite the theatrical size, the sculpted forms feel soft and welcoming, giving formal interiors a distinctly handcrafted, softly gilded presence.
Why You’ll Love It
It takes E12 Candelabra bulbs up to 60W per socket, which makes it easy to choose your own color temperature and brightness. Materials: steel, glass.

Where It Shines
Centered over a dining table, in an entry or stairwell, or as the anchor of a living room or primary bedroom. As a rule of thumb, leave about 30 to 36 in between the bottom of the fixture and the tabletop, and choose a width roughly half to two-thirds of the table's.
Questions We Hear Most
What sizes does the Formosa chandelier come in?
It comes in 6-Light, 27 in (27 in (68.6 cm) wide, 36.5 in high) and 8-Light, 32 in (32 in (81.3 cm) wide, 43 in high). Pick the size by the surface or room it hangs over: wider tables and taller rooms take the larger size.
Which bulbs does it use, and can I dim it?
Each socket takes an E12 Candelabra bulb up to 60W. A warm 2700K LED bulb gives a soft, welcoming glow. Bulbs are not included.
How far does it hang from the ceiling?
The 6-Light, 27 in hangs to a maximum overall height of 76.75 in and can be shortened to 39.25 in. The 8-Light, 32 in hangs to a maximum overall height of 83.25 in and can be shortened to 45.75 in. It hangs on 36 in of chain, adjusted at install.
Can it go on a sloped ceiling or in a bathroom?
It is rated for dry locations: dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and entries, but not bathrooms near the shower or covered porches.
Why We Love It
Swollen, hand-painted curves in ecru or gold give the chandelier an operatic, manor-house scale.
