Hi Mike Here is the first draft for the Billiard light. It was a lot more work drawing than I thought. (I still have lots to learn in Solidworks) You will need to choose a “finial” to hange down in the Center. Have a look here. http://www.bplampsupply.com/category/67/ Keep in mind they will hange upside down. Also I have not drawn the chain or top mounts. First you need to decide if you like the 3 sets of light sections or would prefer 4.here’s the 4 set and finials added. http://www.let-us-create.ca/Site/?p=98
I’ll put links below for the various components I am recommending.
Here’s the light and room. Click On images to see large view.

These are links to the proposed Shade, Orminentation over light (we would modify as per my drawing) I think the Titan face is a nice pick up to tie in with the “Masque” carving detail in the pool table , top armback (this is shown upside down), Light body top. Brass Rod.
Othe Shade suppliers.
The present plan is to use a 4″ fitter. However other options are 2 1/4″, 2 5/8″, 3 1/4″ , 4 1/8″ These are all different “style” but would likely be unnoticable in the over all design.

If you like the “concept” here, http://franklloydwright.tercenim.com/stained_glass.htm , we could ‘design” a shade to fit. We could use brass & glass, and bring the curves of the chandelier and the square’ness of the table together. here are some basic samples of square and curves used in FLW designs. Heres a great presentaion on F.L. Wright. http://www.wrightartglass.com/flash.asp
Let me know your thoughts.

Here are my finial suggestions. These are taking ideas off the Floral carving one off the Masque carving.

Wow! It looks great! You do a fantastic job with your drawings. I want to spend some more time going over this before I get back with you. Right now I’m thinking 4 sets of lights but my wife likes the 3. What do you think? I’ll get back with you tommorow. Thanks…Mike
Hi Mike
I can do a set of 4 (tomorrow) it may help you. Did you get a look at the finial’s I could draw those in as well?
John Tschirhart
What do you think of the 10974U finial?
Also I guess I’m not a big fan of the shades. The color is fine but it appears to me that a smoother design might look better. I looked at the other ones on your suppliers website but didn’t see anything I liked. Do you have another supplier that I could check out. I don’t know, maybe this puts us into the Italian designer shade catagory.
Good Morning Mike
10974U That will work I have used it before. A second look at it reveals it does pick up detail from both carvings doesn’t it. I’ll draw that in this morning.
Shade; When you say “Smoother” are you basing that on my drawing or the actual shade image. I have not fully rendered the drawing and the actual shade is very smooth. I was hoping you would like the red, picking up on the red details in the masque carving. However I was also wondering if a “square” shade would work as the entire table is very square no real curves to it. What about a “Frank Lloyd Wright” style shade? I guess the concern would be how it fits with the curvature of the chandelier itself?
I can’t get URL’s to work here. I’ll post some links for shades up above.
