Can anyone suggest a good online source for hardware for table lamps (sockets, harps, finials, etc.)? What I’d really like to find is something appropriate for an Art Deco/Craftsman lamp.
I’m looking for high-quality parts, as this will be FINE Lampmaking–none of that Norm stuff….

Good question Steve, unfortunately I'm not the man to answer it. But I will anxiously be awaiting someone else's answer as I hope to make some Japanese hanging lights in the near future. Cheers.

Go ahead, get my hopes up...only to dash them to the ground. ;-)

I've never used them but I had these guys bookmarked.

Thanks. I looked at them, but their stuff was mostly too Victorian for what I'm looking for.

American Derosa is one of the biggest lamp part supplier...

Don't believe they have an online catalog.
When I was working as a Metalsmith we did quite a few Art Deco lamps and got our parts from them. Just basic parts and could have been used on many different style lamps actually.

Thanks. MyLampParts seems to have a pretty reasonable selection. I'm just looking to make a couple of lamps, so I don't think American De Rosa would find me worthy of their attention.
