This large ZIYI LARGE CHANDELIER is $840 from Circa Lighting. I love the hand rubbed brass and the bends of the arms. I can just see it as the focal point of a beautiful mid century dining room. But if you need something similar but more budget conscious, here is a great alternative from Lighting Universe:
