I have a capiz drum shade over my dining table and I absolutely love it. I had a diffuser made for it, converted it to a stem-plus-chain for my vaulted ceiling, and added a dimmer switch for romantic dining. The one in this post a little too busy for my decor (although I agree that its gorgeous!!) however the capiz-shell-cum-drum-shade concept is the same.

I get lots of compliments on this fixture.

thanks for this post ... i saw this exact fixture last month at bar johnny (on polk st) and never got around to searching for it online. and now i don't have to! ... p.s. it looks even better lit up at night

gahhhhrrrr... "price upon request" ?! hate when retailers do this. why so coy? no bookmark for you, tonic home.

Oly is a bit on the pricey side, but WOW - you get a lot of look for the investment! Their pieces make such a statement and will look fabulous throughout the years. I don't like the "price upon request" much either, although it seems to be very common with higher end designer pieces.

If you go to Jayson Home & Garden, they have a price. And yes, it's very disappointing. If it was 1/2 the price I'd get it in a heartbeat.
