That would work - take advantage of your nice tall ceiling! Typically, fixtures are hung 30" above the table for 8' and 9' ceiling heights. For every additional foot of ceiling height, add 3". Because the fixture is a little wider than the norm, you can also raise it up so you don't hit your head leaning over the table. There is enough body height with the long rods that it won't look awkward using a minimum of chain.

Your selection is not very French in style, and for a 10 ft. ceiling that chandelier should have more than one level of lights. I'm assuming the refectory table has pull out leaves?
