Where to find contemporary chandeliers

| I have been searching high and low for a really cool chandelier to go over my breakfast table dining area. Lately, I am finding myself mixing modern and mid-century looks with my "transitional" style, and when it comes to lighting, I have always been drawn to more modern styles. I have found several that I like, but they all seem to be very expensive ($700 and up). I really like a lot of Jonathan Adler's light and Thomas O'Brien's lights. Originally, I had decided I wanted a drum shade pendant, but I bought one and was dissatisfied with the amount of light it put out (the shade obscured too much of the light). Believe it or not, I am even toying around with the idea of using one of those "sputnik" lights from the 60's. Does anyone know of some sources where I can find stylish, expensive-LOOKING fixtures?
Here are some of the lights I really like:

| What is the price range in which you would be comfortable? I know lots of folks will want to help, but it would be great not to waste your time posting things that are still out of your comfort zone. I like some of your choices. Not sure the sputnik would be good down in everyone’s faces at a dining table, but I do love the look of it! |

| We have similar taste so I will be watching to see what others say. Good luck in your search! |

| Did you try www.lighting direct.com? They have some decent prices, tho I didn't look thru all your choices. |

| I'd probably prefer to stay below $500, although I might exceed that for something perfect. |

| Google *lighting*. Most websites have *narrow your search* options to choose from, including price, style, size, color etc.--very helpful. You could spend hours looking... |

| Well I have ordered the "Piper" chandelier from Mitchell Gold: 
I really like this chandelier--modern and trad. at the same time. I think I might have preferred the polished nickel finish, but from what I understand, this style has been discontinued and they only have the natural brass left. I still like it and I hear brass (especially natural brass) is coming back. Also, it was on clearance for only $150!!! with tax! Didn't know you could get anything from Mitchell Gold for that price. It should be here in about a week or 10 days. I'm excited! |

| Wayfair.com has great deals on lights too, I have a light in my powder room that was about 1/5 the price on other sites. It on clearance, but I still see it on other sites. |

| This is a VERY old thread. I wonder why it is here... It was here before gmp3 responded, so it was resurrected on its own. The gnomes are at it again... |

| It was spammed. I reported it, they removed the spam, but it still will show as having current posts until we let it die. :-) |
