You may enjoy the Sonneman Collection from lampclick.com.  It includes a mix of modern and contemporary lighting in both bronze and chrome finishes.  Above are just a few pieces from this collection.  My favorite is the Flute-Sconce on the bottom left.  I love its modern appeal, and I just think it’s very stlish and unique.

And then I also like the Sonneman Lighting Transitional 8 Light Heirloom 8 Light Round Pendant on the bottom right.  I think this would be great for someone who wants to dress up a room without making it too formal.

I also rather enjoyed browsing through all their table lamps. One of my favorite pieces is the Uttermost Lighting Iris Buffet Designed By Carolyn Kinder (pictured above).  I love the green and auburn glass. It is so pretty and unique.

And I also like their other home decor, especially the wall mirrors.  One in particular that I found interesting was the Fine Art Lamps Beveled Arcs Girandole.  I really like the sconces on either side, and I also like the frame around this mirror.  It sort of reminds me of the mirror on the wall from Snow White. It has a romantic yet mysterious look to, and it would definitely make a great show piece.

 Head over to lamp click to check out their other selections in fine lighting and home decor!
