You've got beautiful windows and great space.
This is way outside the box, but I'm suggesting it because sometimes something outside the box works, and from the list you posted it looks as if you've looked at everything that fits in the box. ;-)

I do not have any chandy suggestions for you but just wanted to say how beautiful that room is with all the curtains removed.

When you posted it before with the previous owners curtains it just looked so.so....now it shines.

Also, I guess congrats are in order , I am assuming it is now officially yours.

Or have you seen the Floravita reverse painted glass dome chandeliers? They are spectacular. A friend of mine put one in her mountain home in NC, over a table that looked a lot like yours.

Did you check out Shades of Light? They have some really unique things. These are the ones on their site I liked best for your room, but there are lots of others:
This one, but I'd switch out that shade for something else or lose it entirely if possible:

Mtn, I don't have any suggestions but I think you're on the right track looking for light and airy. The finishes of the two you've considered look right for the house IMO.

What a fabulous room! Have you considered hanging two chandeliers? It is such a large space and a large table I think two would look great. Between your two choices I prefer the first one.

OK, I am in the market for a dining room light too, so this was fun for me. An opportunity to obsess on some one else's behalf...
Here are a couple I think a true to the spirit your choices represented (with no marsh grass like accoutrements)

Another option, which helps the local Maine economy and allows you to get whatever you want, would be to order something from Ace Iron. He is a Maine Craftsman that does lovely work- have seen it, don't have it. A couple of GWers do have his chandliers and I can probably track down who, if you need me too. I have linked his site, but here are two of his 'stock' models

I was thinking the same thing as artillery, what about 2 fixtures? You could have them on different switches and then could only use one when playing games at one end of of the table.

Also wanted to say that I am thoroughly enjoying your posts about the beach house. I'm sure I speak for many when I say I am living vicariously through you and wait for the next room to be tackled.

I am not positive but I think AceIron does custom work. Possibly make a smaller, similar or copy of the one you & DH love. The company is in Maine.

The very first light on First Dibs looks interesting. There are pages and pages of them--- you might find something there.

No suggestions for lighting, but you inspired me to check out the swarovski site...Yowzah! Do they do fab stuff with crystal fixtures or what! Thanks for triggering the inspiration!

Just want to say I am in love with this beach house. Covetously in love.
This chandy is on my short list for a couple reasons. Doesn't break the bank, is still traditional looking, not heavy and huge, and most importantly has decent light output at 60watts X 9.
Feiss Aura

Such a pretty room! A couple questions...what style do you prefer? Are you trying to coordinate with other lighting already in the beach house?

Mtnrdredux, Beautiful room!
I love both of the chandeliers you posted.
I like the reeds on the second chandelier --
reminds me of beach grass at the shore
and feels like just the right touch of fanciful.

Pottery Barn

Some are probably too "heavy" for your liking...

I see there are sconces on either side of the fireplace - can we get a better view of those? Also, you mention using the table for games, etc. My chandelier does not have shades and the glare from the light can be bothersome. Not sure if that's a factor or not for you.

Wow, GW to the rescue, as always! Thank you for all of your help.

Janice, I picked out that first one and fifth, too. So delicate! I had a question about the one you posted that is sort of boat-shaped, with glass disks, third from the bottom? Where is that from? It reminds me of the one I like that is too big. I am coming to realize that I really would prefer and elongated light.

Nsoccermom, I like the jar one; maybe for my kitchen?

Francoise, Thank you. I wasn't crazy about the reeds, but found myself oddly attracted to the ugly beauty of the oyster shells. In fact I really like this one, but DH just rolled his eyes:

Thanks, Arapaho. I'm not coordinating with anything else, except the house itself, a grey cedar shingle beach house, 1906. I kind of want to stick to the prewar era, but could make an exception.

PPBenn, that is pretty! Are those crystals?

KSWL, OMG I went through about 40 pages of First Dibs last night (and that was by eliminating anything over $6,000 ... the high end was over $1,000,000, LOL... gotta love 1st Dibs). A few of the things I really liked were shipping from Europe. Problem is the elements that made them special was usually the glass ... which would be irreplaceable if broken. I will post some of the contenders later.

Eandhl, I have been looking for Maine metal artists but they all seem to do heavy wrought iron stuff. Too bad, id love to commission one.

Daisychain, totally open to 2 fixtures. I like milk glass ones, saw a few of those. Mercury or vaseline glass, too. Thank you for your kind words! I am not hiring a decorator, so I will be leaning on you guys a lot. : )

Localeater, AceIron is too country; like a lot of the Maine artists I've found. The Cosette is so pretty. I showed it to DH and he said -- we already have that in our MBR (here in CT). He's right, it's very close --- he picked it out. I am not sure why it matters, but he says he wants something different ...

ATKillery, thank you! I really like the first one, too, as does DH. I like the shape and its delicacy. I like the light tone of the metal.

Thanks, Lazydasiy.

MLWeaving, I love the round arctic pear. I also like the idea of using something unexpected. I will have to price and size and and run it by DH. The painted glass is too colorful for me, but I can imagine they are beautiful with the light turned on.

Lyban, Yes, it is now ours! We closed Friday and spent the weekend. It was so cathartic to rip those curtains off every single window in the house! I tried to wash them and give them to good will, but most didn't survive the wash.

Beagles, I forgot Shades of Light! Will go look. I agree about losing the shade on the first one...

How about two, or even three, semiflush mount chandeliers? I say this because you mention the dining table for playing games, etc. Our dining table doubles as an art table for my kids and I replaced the hanging chandelier with semiflush, it feels less crowded for lack of a better word. Also would definitely not block the view of the window.

Oh, I so love that first one you posted...it looks so light and French to me! They don't have it a bit smaller? Oh...and that hydrangea is AMAZING!! Please post a photo when it is in full bloom!

I could be way off but thought you might like this...

I love the one from Rejuvination.

Arapaho and Red,
I love it. I do think it is a bit toooo informal, though. But I am bookmarking it for my kitchen. My kind of thing -- basically very simple, but with a little twist!

Nini,
I really do like the shape for the table, and the airiness. I think it is informal but not rustic.

Happy to say, I found either the original maker of that chandy (the very first one I posted above), or someone who copies them, on Etsy. I am having her quote me one in a smaller size, and in copper, which I then want to verdigris. I also asked her to put small holes in the candle saucers (term?) so that I can, if I want, hang oyster shells or seaglass or nothing at all. I'm totally psyched.

I really like the two that you chose.

Would you please post the Etsy shop?

Thanks, Mae,

Juju, the link is below

Love the view of that gorgeous hydrangea shrub!

The first site I think about for 'different' is
"TonicHome".

Here's a "faux coral chandy" that might work if you use 2 of them as I don't think one is large enough.

There is this one that "looks like driftwood" but is likely too rustic and may not provide enough light. Very different tho.

Have fun making this decision - there are sooo many styles of chandies I think I'd choose 6 and draw one out of a hat! LOL

Thanks, mtn. It's very exciting that you found someone to replicate the first chandelier on a smaller scale because it's perfect.

I was also going to suggest checking Rejuvenation, and have you looked at Hubbardton Forge?

Love that room. I can't wait to come over for lunch!

I fell for these lights a long time ago, would love to see someone take advantage of them. Perhaps a customized Scabetti?

Poorly photoshopped, side view. Goal was to show that actual light would be translucent, and allow you to see through.

Now I'm thinking - long, rectangular, table length custom dark iron fixture). Perhaps with Edison style lightbulbs a la mamadadapaige?

Thanks, Juju,

SueB, I'd love to have you over for lunch.

OldBat 2 be, those are very cool. Why does customized Scabetti sounds like it will rival the cost of a small domestic car.

All, I have found someone to make my first choice for me. I am just unsure of size. But they say the chandy should be 75% of the table width. By that measure, what i think of as a behemoth, the original at 60x32x24, is less than 75% of either the W or L of our table, which is 54" by 113". I don't know, it seems like the size of 1st grader to me...

Hmm, if I understand Pal's math for Threeapples, then my room is 22x12, and 22+12 equals 34 so i should want something ... 34 inches wide? or 34 inches in any direction?
