The canopy that is held by a nut, flush to the ceiling to hide the wiring was too deep for the length bolt that supports the entire fixture to the ceiling. With the depth of the canopy I had I don't know how anybody secured this fixture to the ceiling. I took the canopy off the fixture I was removing, bought a can of chrome spray paint and re used the canopy with a new paint job. A couple of hours longer than expected and it is up. there was one broken piece of glass, but there were enough spares. 

It looks great now that it is up, very elegant and modern  (without being too modern).

Pros: beautiful, looks like it costs a lot more.
Cons: problem with a sizing of the canopy.
