Short Answer
Choose a Murano-style Palmette chandelier by the complete fan-glass outline, listed height, installed drop, and room views. The outward-curving glass makes the upper edge important when checking width; the size of one glass piece is not the diameter of the chandelier. Compare the six designs below in three dimensional groups, then test glass color and frame finish separately. Clear, amber, pink, and smoked glass can look different against a wall, window, or mirror. Confirm the source, suspension, mounting, and glass-access method before ordering, rather than choosing only from the color name.
What Is a Palmette Glass Chandelier?
The Palmette designs here use fan-like glass elements with radiating texture and outward-curving ends. Repeated around the frame, they produce a broad upper outline and a stepped composition below it. This is a different silhouette from a curtain of straight tube glass or an arrangement of circular discs.
A petal-inspired chandelier may have a related organic appearance, but the individual glass shape and arrangement still matter. Use the Murano-style petal guide when comparing that separate form, and the Murano-style glass guide for the broader terminology. The style name alone does not document geographic origin.
For sizing, use the complete outside diameter, the height assigned to the fixture, and the final ceiling-to-lowest-point drop. The chain, canopy, and connections need to be accounted for separately unless the assembly drawing includes them in a complete installed dimension.

Six Palmette Designs to Compare
| Design | Listed diameter × height | Comparison purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Murano-Style Palmette Amber Chandelier | 34.3 × 19.3 inches | Amber fan glass in the smaller dimensional group here |
| Murano-Style Palmette Pink Chandelier | 34.3 × 19.3 inches | Pink glass at the same listed size as the Amber design |
| Beautifully Murano-Style Palmette Transparent Chandelier | 38.2 × 24.8 inches | A wider and taller transparent-glass direction |
| Beautifully Murano-Style Palmette Amber Transparent Chandelier | 38.2 × 24.8 inches | Mixed amber and transparent glass in the same dimensional group |
| Murano-Style Palmette Glass Transparent Chandelier | 45.3 × 30.3 inches | A larger transparent fan-glass composition |
| Palmette Murano-Style Smoked Glass Chandelier | 45.3 × 30.3 inches | Smoked glass at the same listed size as the larger Transparent design |
Amber at 34.3 Inches
Palmette Amber provides a 34.3-inch diameter with a 19.3-inch listed height. Use it as a dimensional starting point before deciding whether the amber tone suits the room. Its fan tips extend the visible outline beyond the central frame, so compare the full diameter with furniture, walls, and nearby ceiling features. Select the corresponding Nickel + Amber or Gold + Amber frame-and-glass combination deliberately.
Pink at the Same Listed Size
Palmette Pink shares the 34.3-by-19.3-inch dimensions. Comparing it with Amber helps isolate the color decision from a large size change. Review the actual glass and frame together in the room palette. Equal dimensions do not establish identical light output, source positions, or glass variation; those remain part of the order specification.
A 38.2-Inch Transparent Direction
Beautifully Palmette Transparent expands the width to 38.2 inches and the listed height to 24.8 inches. It is not simply the smaller chandelier in clear glass. The outline changes in both plan and elevation. Transparent glass can make the ridges, overlapping surfaces, frame, and objects behind the fixture more visible, so test it against the intended wall or window.
Amber and Transparent Glass at 38.2 Inches
The Beautifully Amber Transparent design uses the same listed dimensions as the 38.2-inch Transparent design. Compare where the amber and transparent elements sit within the composition, especially from the doorway and the main seats. A mixed-color arrangement should be reviewed as a whole rather than reduced to one paint-color match. The frame finish is another selection alongside the glass.
A 45.3-Inch Transparent Composition
The larger Palmette Glass Transparent design measures 45.3 inches in diameter with a 30.3-inch listed height. Its broad upper outline and fuller elevation need a room drawing. A generous ceiling height does not establish enough horizontal space around the fan tips. Include adjacent walls, railings, doors, and the assembly’s movement during installation.
Smoked Glass at 45.3 Inches
Palmette Smoked offers the same listed size as the larger Transparent design, with Polished Gold or Polished Nickel frame selections. It gives a way to compare smoked and transparent appearance while holding the quoted dimensions constant. Check the unlit outline as well as the illuminated effect. A darker glass direction does not provide a reliable lumen reduction or brightness calculation by itself.
Compare Size Before Color
| Decision | Useful pair | What to hold constant |
|---|---|---|
| Amber or pink? | The two 34.3 × 19.3-inch designs | Intended mounting point, room views, and desired lowest point |
| Transparent or mixed amber/transparent? | The two 38.2 × 24.8-inch designs | Dimensional outline and the room background |
| Transparent or smoked? | The two 45.3 × 30.3-inch designs | Size comparison, then the selected source and light level |
| Which dimensional group? | 34.3, 38.2, or 45.3-inch complete diameter | A plan and elevation drawn at the same scale |
For the broader palette decision, use the colored-glass room guide. Here, first establish which Palmette outline fits, then evaluate color through its curved, overlapping glass.
A Worked Drawing Comparison
Suppose a hypothetical room drawing assigns a 48-inch-wide comparison envelope to the chandelier. Centering each complete diameter within that envelope gives these geometric differences to each side:
34.3-inch fixture: (48 − 34.3) ÷ 2 = 6.85 inches.
38.2-inch fixture: (48 − 38.2) ÷ 2 = 4.9 inches.
45.3-inch fixture: (48 − 45.3) ÷ 2 = 1.35 inches.
The envelope is a hypothetical drawing limit, not a required clearance rule. The 45.3-inch design leaves little difference from that limit, so actual outer dimensions, tolerances, obstacles, and installation movement need review. None of these calculations approves a fixture for the location.
Next compare the listed heights: 19.3, 24.8, and 30.3 inches. The largest group adds 11 inches of listed height over the smallest group, before establishing the complete hanging arrangement. Check both plan and elevation; a wider room can still have a restricted drop.
Fan Glass, Windows, and Upper Views
The outward-curving fan tips can read as a broad crown from the entrance and a different layered shape from below. Review the underside from seated positions and any top view from an upper landing. The chosen height affects which ridges, frame parts, and sources are visible.
Against a window, compare the unlit glass in daylight and the fixture illuminated at night. Backlighting and reflections can emphasize different textures. Beside a mirror, include the reflected composition in the room view rather than considering only the directly visible chandelier.
If a color relationship needs close control, discuss a suitable reference or sample and the acceptable variation. Glass texture and overlap can create multiple visible tones within one selection. A photographed highlight is not an additional color option.
Lighting and Glass Access
Specify the actual source, lamp dimensions where applicable, controls, and electrical requirements. Fan-shaped glass does not establish a socket, lamp count, delivered output, or dimmer protocol. Plan other task and circulation lighting where the decorative fixture does not meet the room’s needs.
Have the installer review support, completed weight, canopy, suspension, and ceiling condition. Chain suspension alone does not confirm sloped-ceiling compatibility. Agree the assembly layout and lowest point for the exact order.
Plan access to the radiating ridges, overlapping glass, and lamps. Confirm how pieces are supported or removed rather than lifting a fan tip or using it as a handle. Follow the Murano-style glass cleaning guide with the fixture’s own assembly and care instructions.
Palmette Chandelier FAQ
What does Palmette describe in these chandeliers?
The fan-like, textured glass arrangement and its outward-curving profile. It does not provide the complete size or mounting specification.
Are the 34.3-inch Amber and Pink designs the same listed size?
Yes. Both are listed at 34.3 inches in diameter by 19.3 inches high. Their glass and source details still need separate comparison.
Is the 38.2-inch Transparent version only a color change from the 34.3-inch design?
No. Its listed width and height are both larger: 38.2 by 24.8 inches.
Does smoked glass tell me how much light the fixture will provide?
No. Establish the actual source, output, arrangement, mounting height, and controls.
Can the glass fan be used to support a piece during cleaning?
Use only the support and removal method specified for the fixture. Decorative edges are not assumed lifting points.
