Jeweled sphere, perforated bottom diffuser, P4404, because I have three of them!

Does anybody know where I can get two of the perforated bottom diffusers, to replace ones that are missing?

hi pam!

i had to go with #2.

we used to rent a house at the beach every summer, and those lamps were hanging above the dining room table and in the hallways.

sadly, the owners sold the house and it was torn down to build a giant mcmansion. of course, i’m kicking myself for never taking pictures of the incredible time capture that was our home every summer.

I forgot to say that I have 3 of #6 lights going down my hallway to the bedrooms in the house we recently bought and are renovating.

I voted for 6 because I have the very ones in my house! How exciting!

#8 because there were 3 of them in a row in the
foyer of the house I grew up in. Our house was
in Danville, IL. Built in ‘64, it was a tri-level with
2 master suites, another 3 bedrooms, total of 4
baths, and a full basement. N-ni-i-i-i-i-ce !!

I voted for #6 because it’s a bit fancy without being over the top. But, I also really like #1. I sure wish I had a foyer with one of these lamps suspended in it.
