Probably classic or Victorian. Actually Art Nouveau might be closer. The bases I have are all of that style; either organic or with restrained neo-classic lines. Unfortunately the nearest flea market is about 2 hours away or IÂd surely go. I have occasionally seen some in resale shops but those were all hanging lamps, something that needs no base, and of the bar/restaurant style. I have seen many more bases begging for shades than the other way around! I took a few courses in stained glass, 20+ years ago, so I indeed know how much work it is. I was good at soldering but lousy at cutting unless it was a straight line. And a lamp even more work than doing something flat.

You can rent a cable locator. One end of it gets stuck in the ground and the other clamps on the end of the wire (at the bulb socket). You then can wander around with the receiver and sniff out the path. Other options are to start digging, or go look around the basement or at the house (in my case there was a small piece of conduit coming up out of the ground near the foundation that fed the post. If there are similar homes in the neighborhood, you might ask your neighbors if they know what swtich/breaker controls it.

Yes, we've stayed there many times, and the lamp has been in several of the rooms that we were in. I heard back from the manager today, and she says that the lamps were custom made for their renovation and not available to the public. Guess I'll have to just search around for something similar. I have seen several vintage Stiffel lamps on ebay that are similar.

Hi there, I am looking for a source, bricks and mortar (in Toronto), or online (North America - preferably Canada), for mid-century modern-styled floor lamps. My husband needs a "reading" light beside his chair in the living room and I am loath to just stick a boring LED reading lamp there. I want something really stylish and cool (similar to the lights I have seen on the DelightFULL website. However, we have a small living room and there won't be a huge amount of clearance for the lamp, so I have to be careful in that regard. Any advice??
