    Here's some bulbs I like-only $25-$40 EACH !
    PS-I'd mount this sideways on a vertical wall,like an illuminated sculpture.

    The last one is more in keeping with the design of the fixture, but the first one would be crazy (in a good way).

    Off of our master bathroom is a water closet that uses a wall mounted fixture above the toilet. I used this small Deco ceiling fixture on the wall. Keep the bulbs small and admire the Deco.

    Just a thought...all three of those lamps have long filaments, an' I'll risk assuming that they are designed to burn vertically, perhaps only base up...or base down...for longer life...bicbw.

    Beautiful Roaring-You've got superb taste and now I get your drift about letting the fixture shine,good call.
    Thanks for the tip Whit-sharp observation (Reddy Kilowatt):joyful:.

    WOW...I had forgotten all about Reddy Kilowatt!
    Your mention of him is a tacit admission that you, too, are older than Dirt, Bosko...not, of course that there's anything at all wrong with that, but still...

    Nice fixture. Think the ceramic sockets are replacements. Would at least paint the outer ring to match better. A small clear or amber exposed filament bulb would be the way to go.
