Classic Light fittings

[oldfrank]

Just in what I hope will be the closing phase of rebuilding - which will include rewiring. Intend to retain as many of the 1930s bakelite switches etc as possible - but have a few broken glasses for light fittings. Any one know of a source of old light interior fittings that I could use as replacements? - preferably in East Anglia. Only need a couple. Grateful for advice.

Can you give a description, I have some old fittings down the back workshop.

The original fittings were bulkhead mounted, round and 3" diameter with a round glass dome - most attractive. It isn't essential that replacements are identical but I'd like to keep them 'in period'. Only need a couple. Grateful for any help! OF

The ones I have are oblong
