View Full Version : Where to look for old style lights?

I have built a one room schoolhouse replica and am having a problem with a over the vanity light for the bath among others. The bath has 140 year old bead board ceilings with an original old school light with a cast bronze base, but I am having a hard time finding something that works with that for the wall light over the mirror.

All of the reproduction stuff is just too fancy for a school house, and there are about two zillion light fixtures on the internet, most of them cheezy and ugly.

Any suggestions to send me in a more focused search would be appreciated.

Thanks, Larry

If you have a picture of what you are looking for (or even if you don't) try contacting some architectural salvage places.
