The usual 40 watt candelabra base incandescent produces around 450 lumens. You can get 13 or 14 watt compact fluorescents with candelabra bases and outputs in the 600-825 lumen range, which would increase your light by 33% to 83%. The only concern would be whether they'd fit into your fixture's globe. http://1000bulbs.com/product/7653/FC13-4T213C.html http://www.greenelectricalsupply.com/14-watt-candelabra-base-cfl-warm-white-3000k.aspx As always, no endorsement is intended; these links are strictly for your information.

First, I love your house! I drool over woodwork like that. Next, your foyer flushmount is the same fixture I have twice in my hallway and I absolutely hate them and want to replace them. Because it's a hallway with standard 8' ceilings I'll use flushmount. Now maybe I'm not understanding something based on the other comments here, but I would do a hanging light over your table and I'd definitely do a hanging light in the foyer with your ceiling there being so high. My inclination would not be to go to a modern looking fixture in either place, as I love those that would be more in keeping with the wonderful period of the house. Even though I do like the first one you featured. You have something special with that house that is not found in the newer houses, no matter how pretty they may be. I drool over antique fixtures like THIS, and THIS, and THIS, and THIS, And THIS French deco, and most certainly THIS if you can afford something like that (I can't) or find it for less -- I've seen similar on there for less, ... and judging from the number of bids on many of them I'm far from alone. Of course you can and should use a modern looking fixture if that's what you reallly want. :-)

How high are your ceilings? You need at least 12' to pull off this lamp hanging. Other than that I think the all over size will work. IF you ceiling is 9-10' I would go with a shorter fixture like your first choice. What do your other fixtures look like??? The ones in the photos above?

You can go larger on the light fixture that you think you can. Typically you can add another 2-3 inches when you are dealing with a two story ceiling compared to a lower ceiling, because the high proportions will trick the eye into thinking that the fixture is smaller than it is. For example, see this article: https://www.1800lighting.com/blog/entryway-foyer/choose-perfect-light-foyer.html This may open up your style options. Good luck!
