Taliesin West Rain Chain - Peacock

Dalle de Verre is a thick, durable slab glass designed to withstand the elements. While the glass is weather-safe, it is a handcrafted piece, so we recommend placing it in an area protected from extreme wind or heavy debris to preserve the wire-wrapped connections.

Because each chain is meticulously handcrafted with specific glass segments and wire-wrapping, they are not designed to be easily shortened or lengthened by the user. We recommend measuring your drop height carefully before installation to ensure the 4-5 foot length fits your space.

The Arizona copper will naturally develop a rich, darkened patina over time when exposed to the elements, which is a standard characteristic of raw copper. If you prefer to keep the bright, metallic look, you can periodically clean it with a copper polish, though many owners prefer the evolving aesthetic of the natural patina.

Yes, this rain chain is designed to guide rainwater from your gutter to the ground, serving as a functional alternative to a traditional downspout. However, it is best suited for light to moderate rainfall; during heavy downpours, you may experience some splashing.

The chain typically includes a mounting attachment at the top that rests securely over your existing gutter outlet. Ensure your gutter opening is clear of debris so the water flows directly onto the chain rather than over the sides of the gutter.
