The Bourbons Alphonsus Chandelier unites architectural geometry with genuine brilliance. Its crown consists of polished metal bars cut to varying heights, mimicking the jagged silhouette of a city skyline at dusk. Below this metallic framework, rows of clear faceted crystal prisms cascade in overlapping tiers. Each drop splits light into moving points of warm color, scattering prismatic sparkle across ceilings and walls rather than emitting a flat glow. Designed as a bold centerpiece, this fixture bridges structure and warmth.
Available in round or elongated oval profiles, the chandelier adapts to various interior layouts. The oval form anchors kitchen islands and long dining tables, while the round version suits entryways, foyers, and master bedrooms. Finish options include a polished gold tone for a warm, opulent look or chrome for a sharp, contemporary edge. Adjustments are made via cables or chains to achieve your desired drop height before the crystals are installed.

Installation Requirement: This is a hardwired fixture intended for indoor dry locations. Due to its weight, you must confirm your ceiling box supports the load. We strongly advise consulting a licensed electrician, especially for high ceilings requiring scaffolding or lifts. Install cables to set the drop length before attaching the crystal sections. Always turn off power at the breaker box when handling components.

Design Philosophy
Every element reflects a modern luxury aesthetic, blending traditional elegance with American neoclassical and Art Deco influences. The polished bar crown serves as pure graphic architecture when the lights are off. When illuminated, the K9 crystal transforms the piece into a vibrant display of refracted light. Unlike acrylic alternatives which may cloud or discolor, real faceted crystal maintains its optical integrity and cool, heavy tactile feel. This chandelier provides lasting value as a focal point in living spaces ranging from bar counters to formal dining rooms.
