I had to call the original shop I purchased the light from, find out where the piece could be located, order, disassemble the whole thing again (husband to the rescue), and re-install. It is good now.

Is that so? And if that is the case, what type of light switch did you use for that? Just asking because I am trying to install an Art Deco light fixture in one of our guest bedrooms which has a center bowl and smaller satellite bowls around it which can be light up all together or the satellites individually from the center and vice versa.frankinclt@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529828493584098531.post-85293342600733836802012-12-11T12:06:43.678-08:002012-12-11T12:06:43.678-08:00Very funny!!!

Next time when in NYC, try some of those antique stores on 24th Street between 5th and 6th Ave. There is also a larger antiques "center" where I spotted a stunning Lightolier Sciolari "wedding cake" light fixture. Good luck with the paint project... frankinclt@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
