From what I can see of the rest of the house, it is probably the equivalent of me spending about $15.00 for a "chandelier".
BTW, is this an electric fixture with "faux" candles ?

Fashionably accessorized with matching end table, dining room table and beer mug.

Only $10,000 for the light? That's a great price!What do you mean "I must have GFCIs in the kitchen and bathrooms?" Those things are expensive!

As for me, a standard 4" box-mount porcelain lampholder in the middle of the room will suffice! (Anything is better than the pigtail hanging there currently) The person who owns this house would probably think nothing of flying the Concorde (if it still existed) for a weekend in Paris.

What do you mean "I must have GFCIs in the kitchen and bathrooms?" Those things are expensive! Trouble is they can't have their cocktail-set friends over to gloat about the stuff that hides in the panel. Just imagine it: "Daaaaarling...... What ABSOLUTELY deviiiiiine GFIs you found for this little cottage of yours. Wherever did you get them?" Personally, I wouldn't want this monstrosity hanging over my dining table even if it cost only $10 -- It reminds me of some of the things I've seen hanging from the walls of medieval English castles!

Looks pretty flash, but I wouldn't be paying THAT kind of money for something I could weld up, in my workshop!. BTW, is this an electric fixture with "faux" candles ? You'd sort of hope it was electric, imagine replacing ALL them candles and having the Wax falling on your plate. What are "faux" candles?.
