I found this online. I knew it was by Lightolier, and that the glass shades were missing. Oh dear.

 

So,

So, I looked through my vintage Lightolier catalogs to see what the missing shades looked like. Ah-ha! And did I have any of these shades in storage? Did I? Did I? Did I?

 

Why, yes!

Why, yes! I DID!!!!!!!!

 

The “shelltone” shade are glorious. They have a pearlescent quality, and when lighted they have a fiery glow. This is hard to capture on camera (see one image), but is evident in person. Just stunning.

    These are amazing. I have a 1936 Spanish Deco home with similar fixtures. 6 Sconces in the living room, a foyer pendant, and a slip shade custard chandelier. Unfortunately, we have broken 5 slip shades and haven’t found replacements.
