Where can I find copper or antique copper swag chain for lighting?
Aug 26, 2007 by theartisttwin | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I have looked all over and can't find it!
I would try salvage yards.

Have you looked at thrift stores, as in a Salvation Army thrift store? Where I live, we have a lot of those types of stores, and people are always donating old-fashioned lamps with that kind of chain on it. You can usually pick one up for between $5 and $10. You just need to use a tool to open the link that connects it to the lamp and you then will have a nice long chain.
Actually, as I think about it, those are usually brass, not copper. Hmmm, on copper I am not sure. Brass has always been really big in home decorating because it doesn't tarnish as easily, and if it does tarnish, it doesn't change colors the way copper does.
You might consider going to a store that specializes in lighting, or even a Home Depot, and finding out if they stock any lighting with copper chains. Then, you could probably contact the manufacturer, and see if they can just sell you the chain. That's all I can think of.
Best of luck tracking it down.

re my question How do I fit an antique light fitting?
Sep 30, 2006 by Anne B | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I think folk are misunderstanding. The point is that I need to wire the new two wired cable into the existing junction boxes on the ends of the wires in the ceiling. I know how to wire a normal three wire fitting into the light (like the fitting I have removed) but was just asking what to do about the earth cable in the ceiling. Do I need to earth that or will it be ok just to leave?
Normally, the modern rose would have an earth in it but because the antique rose doesn't involve any wiring (you just feed the cable through), I was slightly worried about not earthing anything.
so, thnks to all who advised an electrician. An electrician won't be necessary - just a bit of advice about the earth cable, please.
You really should follow the advice of getting an electrician.
"A doctor won't be necessary, just tell me where to make the incision please" :-)
DS has an answer for the US (although I don't like it), you are in the UK I take it. I don't know the colors there, but they are probably different than here, and certainly the grounding rules are different. If you really don't want an electrician, you need to get UK specific answers! The "earthing" if for safety--you don't want to screw it up!

What is this antique light used for?
Oct 08, 2006 by rebeccamlawrence | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I am an interior designer who has a client who can't identify the use of antique lamp she owns. It is old and a combination of iron and glass and is electric. It is about 36 inches tall. All this is in one peice. It has a 12"x12" platform on the top of emerald green glass which is uplighted from a torchere type lamp underneath. I would say it was a plant stand or display table of some kind. Her 83 year old mother insists that it is a piano light. This client has a very extensive and valuable antique collection of furnishings, accessories, paintings, fabulous vintage clothing, silver, linen, cars, etc. that was inheirited from her family members. So it is no telling what this thing is. Please help me!!!
have you taken a picture? take it down to an antique store.. if they do not know what it is, they should know how to find out..

Does anyone know of a good place in the midwest or online to sell antique light fixtures?
Jun 18, 2008 by calebjlyon | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
I have an old chandelier in my house that I would like to get rid of. It is very nice and I have been told I can probably get some money out of it. I live in central Iowa. Can you tell me if there is somewhere close by that I could get a reasonable price out of it or a good online place to sell it? I am not sure if Ebay is the way I want to go.
Thanks

What is the proper way to clean and light antique oil lamps?
Jan 24, 2009 by flowerchild | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry
And the proper care of these lamps?
A piece of sponge fastened on the end of a stick or wire is the best thing with which to clean lamp chimneys. Old newspaper will make lamp chimneys sparkling clean. Simply turn the chimney while stuffing in the paper. You will be amazed at the results. Lamp chimneys are made less liable to break by putting in cold water, bringing slowly to boiling point, boiling for an hour, and allowing to cool before removing from the water. If a small hole is broken in a glass chimney, paste on a piece of paper and it will answer its purpose until you get a new chimney. If you use oil, buy the best kerosene. Test it "outside" by placing a very small quantity in a teacup, and if it does not easily ignite when brought in contact with a lighted taper or match, it is good; poor oil will ignite instantly. Keep lamp oil in a cool dark place; keep all the articles used for cleaning, filling, and trimming lamps by themselves. For these purposes provide an old waiter (to hold the things), a lamp filler, pair of scissors or a lamp trimmer, box of wicks, soap, washing soda, and several soft cloths and towels, also a wire hairpin with which to keep open the vent in the burner. When lamps need an extra cleaning, add one tablespoon soda to a quart of water, being careful that none of the bronze or gilding comes in contact with the soda. When the wick becomes too short to carry up the kerosene, and if you have not time to put in a new wick, a small piece of cotton rag pinned on below will prove a good feeder. When the burners of the lamp become gummy and prevent the wicks moving freely, boil them up in suds over the fire a short time, and they will become entirely clean and work well. Lamps may become incrusted inside with settlings from the oil, and ordinary washing will not remove it. Take soapsuds and fill the lamp about one-third full, then put in a little sharp sand, and shake vigorously. A few minutes will remove every particle of settlings.
Important: Always fill the lamps every day and in the daytime; never fill a lamp after dark near a lighted lamp; never light an almost empty lamp, as the empty space is nearly always filled with a very explosive gas. Never fill an oil lamp when lighted. If the lamp wick is dry after filling, allow it to become saturated with oil before lighting. Adjust the wick making sure it is level and trim with scissors if necessary. The wick may have to be adjusted to avoid smoking after lighting. In putting out a lamp, turn the flame down low, and wave a fan, book, or paper across the top of the chimney. Blowing down the chimney is very dangerous when a lamp is nearly empty and turned up high. To prevent lamp wicks from smoking, soak them in vinegar and then dry them thoroughly. Never start a fire in a stove or fireplace with the kerosene lamp oil.
Always be very careful around antique oil lamps, especially when children and young people are present; unlike the youth of Grandma's day, they are not as aware of the dangers. Lamp oil is quite flammable and should always be used with caution. A dropped oil lamp could explode and destroy a house with fire. Here are a couple of lamp safety tips I learned from my old Dad:
1. Never overfill the container with oil; fill to just over three-quarters full.
2. And always make sure the lamp or lantern is sitting on a stable, level surface and never leave burning lamps unattended.
