There is a reason photographers call the hour before sunset golden. The Golden Hour Collection keeps that quality of light indoors, in solid brass and crystal, for the hours after dark when a home's lights do all the work.

Six pieces, one hour

Created with XiXi Yang, the collection runs to six pieces. Cascade diffuses light through tiers of textured crystal, Prism sets faceted crystal at angles that shift as you move past, and Radiance links crystal elements into an even glow for a larger room. Sunset layers circular forms, Sunrise holds a single calm circle, and Lustre brings the same crystal onto the wall.

Choosing a piece

The five chandeliers come in three sizes each, spanning 24 1/2 to 59 inches across, so the choice is character first and scale second. Size to the room, length and width in feet added and read as inches, so a 13 by 17-foot dining room lands around 30 inches, hung 30 to 36 inches above the table. The sconce mounts at 60 to 65 inches, and all five chandeliers are dimmable with a standard wall dimmer.

Warmth, room by room

Start where evenings happen. Over the table, the range sits naturally among our dining room light fixtures, and in an entry a crystal piece is the first warm thing a guest sees.

Choose the room you sit in after sunset, then dim it: the bottom third of the switch is what the collection is named for.
