We received this comment: “I am planning to get the Sepherina light 36 inches with a hardwire ceiling option. What will be the length of the hardwire? I don't want a long hardwire - that's the reason for checking.”
If you are eyeing the grand 36-inch Sepherina Rattan Pendant Light but are hesitant about a "miles-long" cord hanging from your ceiling, you are asking exactly the right question.
For the 36-inch Sepherina, "Hardwire" isn't just one single option. It’s a category with several different lengths. Depending on the finish you pick, the starting length could be 48 inches or 120 inches. If your priority is keeping that hanging length as short as possible, the most important step is choosing the right configuration from the selector, not just choosing “hardwire” in general.

What hardwire options are currently listed for the 36-inch size?
When you look at the 36-inch Sepherina on the product page, you’ll notice that the "Hardwire Ceiling Option" is broken down into specific variants. Based on the current listing, here is what you will see:
- 48" Gold Chain Hardwire: The shortest "starting" length available for this size.
- 120" Hardwire Natural / Black / White: The standard length for most corded finishes.
- 180" Natural Hardwire: The longest option, typically reserved for very high vaulted ceilings or lofts.
It’s easy to get confused because the general "Specs" section might mention 48", 120", and 180" all at once, but the variant selector is where you actually lock in the length that gets shipped to your door.

Which Sepherina hardwire option is the shortest?
If you truly want to minimize the hanging length, the 48" Gold Chain Hardwire is your shortest out-of-the-box choice.
However, many people prefer the look of the Natural Hardwire cord (the jute-wrapped style) over the gold chain. If that’s you, you will likely have to select the 120" Hardwire Natural.
Don't let the "120-inch" number scare you. Even though it can hang 10 feet long, it is designed to be fully adjustable. During installation, your electrician can shorten that 120-inch cord down to just a few inches. You aren't "stuck" with a long cord; you just have the option of one.
If you do not want a long hanging cord, what should you avoid?
If your goal is a "short drop," there is one option you should definitely skip: The 180" Natural Hardwire. This version is specifically designed for grand entryways or massive barn-style ceilings. Unless you are hanging this light over a 15-foot void, the 180-inch cord will just be extra material that your electrician will have to cut away and discard. Stick to the 120" Natural or the 48" Gold Chain for a much easier installation.

Keep the "Shade Factor" in mind
When calculating your drop, remember that the Sepherina 36" is a substantial piece of art. The shade itself is 20 inches tall.
The Math: If you use the 48" Gold Chain and keep it at its full length, your total drop from the ceiling to the bottom of the fringe will be about 68 inches (48" chain + 20" shade).
Since you mentioned you don't want a long hardwire, you’ll likely be shortening whatever option you choose to ensure the bottom of that 20-inch shade doesn't end up too low.
Final recommendation for a "Short Drop" look
The real question is not whether the Sepherina comes in a hardwire version, but which hardwire configuration gives you the best starting point for your project.
- For the shortest starting point: Pick the 48" Gold Chain Hardwire.
- For the most natural, artisan look: Pick the 120" Hardwire Natural and have your installer trim it to your desired height.
Because the Sepherina is such a statement piece, having that extra bit of "adjustable" cord in the 120" version is often the safer bet. It ensures you can get the height exactly right to the inch, rather than being limited by a shorter, fixed chain.
