Please help identify antique bulb and where to purchase

Hello, can anyone tell me what type of bulb this is and how I can obtain more?

 

Priscilla, those don't appear to be light bulbs. They appear to be vintage glass shades. Art Deco from the look of them and not the same era as the ceiling fixture. Have you looked online? You might find what you're looking for on eBay, for instance. Finding an exact match may be difficult but you could always change out all three for a design you like.

Thank you so much. Would you be able to tell me what era the light fixture is from?

 

Someone will know better than I but... To my eye, it's turn-ish of the last century. Is it genuinely old or a reproduction? Is it original to the house it's in? And, if so, how old is the house?

Debora

 

This is a genuine piece from a historical restoration project.

 

I don't really have any info to offer, but I'm trying to figure out what the heck is going on with that light fixture. Two of the shades are on the rim and one is in the middle, but off center? Confusing perspective or does it really look like that?

And what is that thing sticking out of the third socket?

 

House is approximately 100 years old

 

100 years old is 1922. In historical terms, that was yesterday.

The third socket has a utility bulb for more light for the contractor

 

So is the fixture original to the house? Of has it been added as part of the project? Is historical accuracy important? Or are you looking for a solution that's just aesthetically pleasing and roughly in period?

Debora

 

Thank you. Sorry if my post came across as picking at you; I was just genuinely confused.

 

The fixture is original to the house. Historical accuracy is important.

 

There is no reason to believe those are the original bulbs

I'd guess they're more likely 1950s or so

Unscrew one and show the base - look for maker

 

Here's the modern equivalent.
It's only 40 watts and clear.

Fixture is contemporary to the house. Have never seen bulbs quite like that. While attractive, probably not original to the fixture. Generally use round exposed filament bulbs in such.

 

Ten years ago I got hundreds for old carbon filament bulbs

Now there are billions of new LED chicom made to look same selling for little of nothing

Most restaurants seem to use them now

 

Thank you

Take good photos of the bulb and you get a good response.

 

Thank you
