I’m looking for a chandelier - I saw this one on a TV show and took a screen cap. [This is the style I’m looking for.](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7297/8721964634_8904730328_z.jpg) I’m hoping to get something similar, that is at least 40" in diameter. Any ideas?

The [large one](http://www.lumens.com/Convertible-Drum-Pendant-4212142122-by-Kichler/uu388329/product?source=igodigital) is only 24" in diameter. But I learned the term “drum pendant”, so that might help your search.  
Based on what I saw, you might be well served to have it custom made. I got a hit from etsy and the work was lovely. Most of what I found commercially available was very expensive and not exactly what you are looking for.

Thanks - If you have hits on Etsy, that’d be great. Though the ‘drum’ style is more drum than I’d like. I’ve been searching for ‘wheel’ styles. Really, I’m prepared to pay if I can find one I like, I just can’t find any.

I found [this one which is nearly perfect](https://www.productpilot.com/en/suppliers/leds-lux-optoelectronic-international-limited/product/mf_bata_0031075586/en%3Cbr%20/%3E). At 1.5m in diameter, it’s nearly perfect, it’s LED so that’s great, and the cost isn’t so bad, at $720. The downside is that it’s from China and shipping an 80kg item costs $1350.

I’d be okay buying it from a local business at that price since I would have recourse if it didn’t work out, but in this case I’m weary.
