I bought this double George Kovacs / Sonneman Feather lamp and it has a few things wrong with it. I'm hoping to fix the main thing: top lamp doesn't work. Would this essentially mean rewiring it? Are there things I can try before resorting to that? Has anyone restored one of the counter balance style lamps before?

I found this lamp at a flea market and didn't think further. Now I am at a loss which bulb might fit it... Do you have any idea? 😅

Edit: I put in an E14, and it works!! Just hope it's safe...

got this beautiful piece off marketplace and during traffic on the way home i had to brake hard and the shade went flying and sustained this small damage.

it’s not visible when lit up but it’s such a shame it went all this time in perfect condition and now it’s lost that.

you might notice the other small ding below the circled one but i don’t believe it shows on the other side. any guidance there would be appreciated though :)

Really disappointed in the stand that came with the XL lampshade I just purchased (pictured here). It’s way too flimsy and barely holds up the weight of the vintage stained glass lampshade that it came with. I’m looking for replacement stands, but I’m completely at a loss. The shade is 18” tall, 24” wide and about 25lbs.

Does anyone have any advice on where I can find something that works with this style of shade? Please help!

Hey peoples. I need some help. My lamp is muddy and I've tried fixing it to no avail. Any advice?

Hey!
I bought this lamp in hope that I can fix it. There is a missing cover with 11cm average.

Are there being sold pieces like this? I couldn’t find anything yet.

Thanks a lot!

I’m working on restoring my grandmothers antque lamp. one of the glass shade panels broke and I’m having a replacement made.

I’m wondering if it is safe to bend the retaining tabs cold when replacing the new panel or if they should be heated up to avoid them snapping

I think they’re Brass

Also, is there a safe way to clean the white residue off of the shade without affecting the patina?

When I press the button on the right, the left one pops out, and it stays out too? Not sure if this means it’s broken at this stage, but I tried a brand new bulb and it didn’t work. Kinda wobbly.

Hello! I found two such lamps today, used on a ship. I'm looking for information on what type of lamp they might be and where on the ship they might be used. I'd like to restore them and install them in my home. I'm also wondering about the lampshade reflecting light inside. It's currently covered with some kind of silver foil. Could the original have been painted with some kind of mirror enamel, like in cars? .I looked for markings or a manufacturer's plate inside, but I couldn't find anything. They're very heavy, over 3 kg each. There are remnants of beige paint inside.

This antique desk lamp has three of these, and one is beyond repair. the base of the switched bulb socket is fused to the lamp, making switching out to something else impractical. Where should I be looking for a replacement part?

I thrifted this awesome lamp but it seems like the string you pull to turn on the bulbs is broken so all I can do is plug it in and 1 bulb will light. Any suggestions? And how hard is this to fix or how expensive is it to get it fixed?

I bought this about 15 years ago. I'd just finished spraypainting it and getting it into its new nook when it broke, snapped! I think most of the lamp is metal, maybe some is plastic. Is there any hope of fixing it?

So we have a vintage sconce with a halogen 100w R7 bulb. We tried doing a straight swap to LED, but the ceramic housing for the R7 is too large. Is there any way to make this fit? Possibly using copper wire on each end of the bulb with electrical tape?
