@Jilly thank you so much for commenting! I didn't realize it was Hollywood Glam! That makes sense. We had a designer do a plan for the house and she didn't mention replacing it. Do you think we should leave it as it? Our dining room is a mess right now, because we just finished painting. We have a long living room / dining room combo. Here's the table- a midcentury piece with an ikea buffet behind it! Maybe we should recover the chairs instead.

It looks too small and high to use over that table. Consider removing it and using in a walk-in closet, bedroom or powder room. It’s very cute!

I love your furniture with this light! This is going to be a great-looking room! If you like the fixture, I’d absolutely keep it there. Not only is it very cool and beautiful, it’s more unique than the usual MCM mod fixtures popular right now ... and can go with so many other styles, too. It’s a treasure! :)

The size and height were normal for some styles back then (not all), so if it works ok lighting-wise, I wouldn’t worry about that. Just personal preference. You could live with it for now and see what you think. :)

Old picture to show light dimensions (love this very mod room!) —

Thanks @Jilly! I love that photo. I think my picture of the table sort of distorts the scale of the chandelier to the table. The size and height do work for us. My new idea is to recover the chairs in a slightly more formal fabric- maybe velvet. This way the chairs would match the "glamour" of the chandelier better. My husband was shocked at the idea of keeping it, but hopefully it is growing on him :)

I love your chair idea! Please update us!

OMG please never touch it, The only thing you should do is add wire and some chain so you can swag it to center, Or take it down and hang it in say a guest/powder bath or in a kitchen nook even in a second bedroom...

I have a recollection of seeing some similar lights pictured that were valuable antiques. You should see what you can find out about it. Does it have manufacturer info on it someplace?

@shivece I don't see anything on there. Is there an obvious place to look without taking it down?

Yours is prettier than this one, imo:

I googled ‘vintage crystal and murano chandelier’ ... lots of similar ones came up. I don’t know for sure if yours is Murano glass, but it does look like it.

@Jilly thank for sharing that one! It does have some similarities. The metal on that one has a bit more luster. Maybe I will try to shine ours up a little.
