broken lamp shade, need help finding replacement

3 years ago

1 of our lamp shades broke in the house we just purchased, I can’t find anything about a brand or manufacturer of the lamps. Anyone have any idea where I could find similar replacement shades?

It may be hard to get that identical shade, but there are a number of online stores that carry glass shades and you could buy a pair. I was recently looking to replace a broken shade, and found this place: Glass shades

Here's another: Lampglass

There are other such stores that you can find through a Google search, and eBay is a good place to browse for this sort of thing, too. Even Home Depot has a pretty large collection of glass shades on its web site. Lastly, local lighting fixture stores often carry an inventory of glass shades.

The main issue is the size of the opening at the top, and the mechanism that holds the shade in place.

I have had luck finding replacements at second hand stores and at restores ( habitat for humanity shops). Just make sure to measure the opening properly. There are many places online also were you can order a matching pair.

Black , oval and hardback with the gold or tortoise interior I agree. Sometimes they came with tole metal ones. If you look at Visual Comfort lighting they have some lamps like this. These lamps were meant to have shortish shades with the handle sticking out the top about like it is. Check out this link. They make custom shades and you can pick your shape and size.

Nope Marigene, all you need is an up to date shade to make the world of difference in a lamp. To me the lamp itself never goes out of style, just needs the latest in shade shapes. Artlover is right. A bit larger one would work better too. If you can't find one in the right color you can either cover it or buy a blank adhesive shade made to recover. Share pix when you are done please.

Follow-up: Rob is no longer with Hafele, but he forwarded my email to the appropriate person at Hafele. A few emails later, and a new and improved replacement pedal was on my doorstep! A borrowed snub-handled screwdriver and a handy DH, and voila--pedal installed and we're back in business. Thank you for your help breezygirl and thanks be to power of the almighty GW!!!! :-)
