Hi. Can you just clarify what you mean by original? Do you mean a one off piece or an antique? What is your budget? I would probably go for something either vintage, industriał or victorian (is the table victorian??) in style then add accessories to mix the old and new such as a contemporary chair, old chopping board, antique copper pans, old scales, enamel storage etc. I know it sounds odd but people are also starting to use table lamps in kitchens ( some do look odd!), but until you can afford extra lighting this could be an option at the end of the counter and/or Tom's option of floor lamps. You could also look at a triple pendant which will give you more light or you can get the multiple ones that run off one fixture but I'm not that convinced for your room. Also a mirror over your radiator may help. Do you have any cabinet lighting? You can pick up the ones that I think just stick on from diy stores quite cheaply

A traditional weighted pulley pendant light would look lovely and also quirky. I agree that a pair of standard lamps or even wall lights would help for a nice layered lighting.

Thank you very much for all your comments and advice, much appreciated! I was considering a pair of pendant lights http://www.marksandspencer.com/paris-rise-and-fall-ceiling-light/p/p22394681

Another option I had in my mind was to have a big chandelier.

I will keep looking around for ideas.

The light looks good but I can't see 2 of them working on a round table tbh but might be wrong! I think you could also get a chandelier to work if you look at accessorising. Another option is a cluster pendant as it looks as if you should have the ceiling height

It is actually quite large oval table. That is why I am considering two lights...

This space would definitely benefit from two statement lights. Chandeliers would look stunning. Check out BHS, M&S, eBay. Alternatively, look at Voga.com. They have designer reproductions.

How about a Cooper chandelier from www.nicholashaslam.com? Or something similar where classic form is simple yet with some character

pendant lights could work very well. we've got original vintage french ones in white with contraweight. Maybe In The Tube lamps could work for you as an alternative they are surprisingly beautifull. hope you like them.

Hello,

A beautiful chandelier would definitely work, some spot lighting could help brighten up your room.

John Lewis always have a nice variety of quality. Interesting lighting. A modern chandelier would work well over the table, and I would put some LEDs under your wall cabinets to bring in subtle lighting on your lovely units.
