Chandelier location tricky
Hi Thanks for looking here.
Our electrician put ceiling outlet in center of dining room which isnt cneter of table. This is even more evident with extensions.
Hoping i can affix chandelier hardware and then with extended cord, attatch to hook on ceiling actually centeed over table. I haven’t found photos to explan to my husband what I’d like to do.
I’m also attaching a photo of the older FB marketplace chandelier I found. I bought it before seeing that glass pieces had fallen off. Some I can reattach and others are lost. Thoughts on this?

Please help locate source for 3-wire chandelier cord
Comments (1)Unless the chandelier is extremely light, I can't imagine hanging a fixture from the cable. I would doubt that any cord of this style would be UL listed for suspension of a fixture. I have never seen a 3 conductor cord in the style you are looking for but it probably exists. Try a lamp repair shop, those guys have all the parts. If you Google it, you may find several sources for the cord. Good luck. PS - Are there any markings at all on the cable that may help identify it?...See MoreUrgent help requested: chandelier size and location
Comments (14)Hi Sam Pan- I agree with you that the red chandelier in the dining area has to go. I also agree with you that the massive metal wall sculpture has to go, it will dominate any chandelier you put in the living room. The living room and dining room chandeliers do not have to be the same, they should just have the same feeling, the same metal. You can do your round one with dark metal in the living room , and one that looks like an atom in the dining room, or vice versa. These are both from Restoration hardware, since you want to get your other chandelier from there, and come in different sizes and finishes....See MoreStaircase chandelier location dilemma
Comments (2)I would move it to the right , you are correct it is too close to the railing. In fact I might be tempted to do a ceiling light at the landing and a fifferent light at the entry but I need to see the space form below too....See MoreChandelier location
Comments (42)I don't think the chandelier or its placement is an issue. I'd be hesitant to remove such a beautiful original feature (a real jewel) from a family heritage home. (Sometimes renovation can snowball to later regret.) I'm curious about the wholistic approach to room use and furniture placement. Was the piano room originally the diningroom? Is that the livingroom with sofa beyond the kitchen? Is that a diningroom chair left of the sofa, beyond the refrigerator? If so, is this living-dining room larger than the piano room? Why wasn't the piano placed in the livingroom where others could sit and enjoy the music filling this larger space while using the currently designated piano room for dining? I understand entry is currently at the piano room, however visitors still have to walk through the kitchen to get to the living-dining room, so why not enter at the diningroom anyway? Can the entry be relocated to the rear living-dining room if coming into a diningroom is an issue? How was the house entry originally placed relative to either room? I don't think focusing on chandelier placement is the real issue here....See MoreRelated Professionals

PROlast monthIt's called a swag
It is pretty simple to do.
As far as missing pieces? See if there is a lamp repair shop anywhere near you or look online or maybe a craft store?

PROlast monthlast modified: last monthIMO the formula is the VERY MINIMAL SIZE. The window bay adds to the space.
I always select them larger than the formula.
Are you really going to illuminate a dining room with three candelabra bulbs? Of course you can up the lumens, but it will only increase the glare coming off the pendant in the room.

Thank you, Beverly.
I was thinking a chandelier would be more for a more soft ambient glow. ?
I'm really impressed with your photo imaging ability there.
We have overhead recessed if we need more light and we have two lamp light sources in the room as well.I also have this a 16 inch It wouldn't provide much Light either. I'd love to see how that might image. this photo is another consideration and also shows the table pulled out. I don't really think the center of the table is close enough without a swag.
