The chandelier was plated in a brass finish, which is not to my taste. I taped the kit pieces to a board and sprayed all the pieces flat black. The chandelier kit version I chose had replaceable bulbs but with white wires that were relatively thick. I used candle sockets with varnished wires instead.
The sconces were very easy to put together, but this contraption took some doing. I ended up putting it together my own way, which had its pros and cons. I tested the bulbs repeatedly during the process to make sure they were all working. They are temperamental, but they work!
Here's the chandelier in place without its chain, which is at the moment brass in color. I am going to attempt to spray paint it when I do the touch-ups on the chandelier paint.
I think the large medallion is a keeper for sure! 
I placed a piece of large crown molding in for mockup purposes, too. The one I plan to use is about the same size but a little fancier.
