I am converting the former dining room of our newly-purchased home into a dedicated studio for my grand piano, enclosing the opening to the foyer and adding French doors. I already have a small lamp on my piano that shines directly onto the music rack, but needed something elegant/contemporary to replace the current "bedazzled" chandelier that hangs from the coffered ceiling. And, I needed it to be able to hang high enough that it would not make it impossible to open the piano lid. This lovely fixture does all of that with grace that isn't fussy or pretentious, and the rectangular "cage" adds just the right touch of modern flair. Beautiful quality - we love it.
