Light shade question

3 years ago

Hi there, I was looking for some advice about how to restore a light fitting in my house (please see pic). I think this is the original from when the house was built around 1910. The metal is very badly tarnished and I think the colour has bled from glass parts. Any advice greatly appreciated!

In a previous hone I bought these Dar Zaragoza lights and used them as bedside lights hung at chest height. I also needed a diffuser for the top, was concerned about the weight so discounted glass and had a disc of Perspex cut and it was just the job

Definitely had a glass shade. What your looking for is a replacement with a neck so the lip sits on top of the screws. This site has a good selection but double check the diameter of the fitting: https://jmoncrieff.co.uk/John-Moncrieff-replacement-glass-light-shades/John-Moncrieff-clear-globe--with-neck-in-various--sizes- Ebay is a good source for replacement shades as well.

Choose something that will mask the bulb when you’re looking at the pendant from underneath (ie in bed). Like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aperture-Light-Pendant-Shade-Small/dp/B06Y3LCT7Y/ref=asc_df_B06Y3LCT7Y/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=345526259037&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12886301589046232526&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045909&hvtargid=pla-737902658808&psc=1. Habitat also did a larger size, they look quite dramatic but give a nice soft yellow light, perfect for a bedroom. When it comes to light fixtures, larger is almost always better.

What size light shade?
Q

My general instinct would be to work with low level and indirect lighting, ie. table lamps and floor lamps, ideally all on a dimmer. Large statement lights work great in large rooms but since this is on the smaller side I would accentuate the cosiness. A large pendant can still look great but may just not be practical in terms of sight lines. Do you have photos of the room?
