Can you help me find an unusual chandelier?

I saved a picture of a rather wacky chandelier that I saw at an interiors fair, but waited too long before ordering it and the company had gone out of business. Can you suggest an equally quirky alternative?

Madeleine Boulesteix, www.madeleineboulesteix.co.uk, makes dramatic chandeliers from found objects including cups and glasses (above), jelly moulds and cutlery, decorated with feathers, jewellery and crystal droplets. No two are exactly the same. She also makes to commission. Prices for electrified chandeliers start at £490. Dwell has an imaginative range of lighting too and has recently opened a branch at Unit 5, The Brewery, Henrietta Street, Cheltenham GL50 4FA, www.dwell.co.uk. Its Clear Globe Wires pendant, which costs £49, is filled with a riot of fine wire and five small lamps. John Lewis, www.johnlewis.com, also has a good selection of lighting, which is well illustrated on its website. Its Nebula chandelier, which costs £390, has a mass of curling arms ending with bulbs or lead crystal globes.
