Source for Chandelier Shades Using Spider

9 years ago

We have a nice chandelier in our dining room with six arms, each arm supporting three ersatz candles. Attaching the shades is through a "spider," i.e., the way normal full sized lamp shades are attached to a harp.

Due to other changes in the room, its time to change the shades. However, it is VERY DIFFICULT (haven't done it yet) to find chandelier shades (ours are 4" tall, 5" across the top, and 7" across the bottom) with this type of construction. No one seems to specify the type of construction for attachment, but when they do it is always the "clips" that grasp a single bulb.

Anyone know of a good source for what we are looking for? Thanks.

That's a tough one. Below is a link to a few, but nothing quite the right size. Good luck.
