old lamp glass globe

Jan 10, 2004 3 Replies

Where can I buy a replacement globe lamp glass for our chapel front door light? It was a plain globe hanging down from a swan neck fitting with a circular ring holding it with 3 bolts - bit like an old tilley lamp glass. There are dozens of lighting sites but so far no good.



cheers

I'm sure I saw plain glass globe shades on a visit to B&Q or Homebase or somewhere like that, so try shopping about in the DIY places before you try specialist suppliers.

We have one in our dining room which came from a Chinese take-away in the

1970s. We were talking about it with friends recently and they said that Ikea does them.

I find it hard to believe but it might be worth a try.

If you have any contacts at a university, try and track down and sweet-talk the glass blower....
