Eileen on Feb 03, 2014You should be able to "unscrew" most of the lamp parts; (most of them are threaded together,) then change them out from one to the other, though why you want to change to wood I don't understand. If the parts don't unscrew from the glass ones, you can find lamp parts galore on ebay, which you could use.Helpful Reply

Chris Sabol on Feb 05, 2014I wouldn't touch the original lamp, it's gorgeous. I don't think the globe would look good on the other lamp no matter what color it was painted.Helpful Reply

Liliana Wells on Feb 05, 2014I love the lamp on the left. The contrast with your black furniture would be very attractive. If you paint the lamp on the right black, it would be very boring with the rest of the black furniture.Helpful Reply

JoieBK on Feb 05, 2014@vicki All the needed parts should be available at an Ace hardware, take both lamps. But you could use the parts from the old one for the new one as well. Personally, I love the existing lamp, the painted globe is lovely and the rest of it is amazing as well. If you move the globe to the new lamp, the old lamp would be amazing yard art! Have fun!Helpful Reply

Vintage Restorations.....Formerly Closet Furniture on Feb 05, 2014Thank you Vicki.........and my lamp thanks you. I broke the top sphere of mine and my wife found one that kinda' sorta' goes with it. I had to adapt the base of the top slightly to get the new globe to fit. I will get a pic and post after I finish with the snow....!!!Helpful Reply

Rob Handel on Jun 02, 2014I've only just seen this post. PLEASE tell me the lamp on the left is still safe and sound? It's absolutely exquisite. I don't really understand the obsession with hacking apart antiques and painting them. Some stuff looks ok when subjected to that, but what's wrong with appreciating it for what it is?Helpful Reply

Myrna Engle on Jul 06, 2014Have you checked the value of L. lamp? As it appears here to be an antique. I assume it's worth at least $150.00. If you re-do it will be basically worth the price of the globe. take it to an antique shop first. If the decision is to go ahead first note that every lamp has one long knurled screw from socket to bottom of lamp. ALL necessary hardware is threaded to fit this screw. If you find you need another piece to say tighten it all together, take it with you to the store and a handsome person will help you find the part.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Jul 06, 2014Leave original as is. The globe is too large for the base to the left. Just get a new globe or alternative for the one on the right.Helpful Reply

Sandra on Aug 26, 2014If you persist in changing the lamp as long as the globe fits over the stem of other lamp it can easily be changed simply by un-wiring the socket and unscrewing the parts with a small nut on the bottom. Then reassemble in same order on other lamp and reattach wires and screw everything back together. However, I do agree with all previous posts DO NOTHING to the Globe lamp. It is beautiful as is. Paint wood lamp in a white with white shade and colored crocheted shade cover for a beautiful antique(ie) look that will go with your black & white room or any other color.Helpful Reply

Vicki on Sep 11, 2014no, it was not broken. yes, I had it to rewire with a small switch box to hook on the wire cord within my reach to turn on and off easy. no, I did not change anything on left one. I decided to leave it as is.Helpful Reply

CK on Sep 12, 2014Yes, you can get parts to make the globe fit. But ummmm...why? The original is gorgeous as is. (Oh I see you decided to keep it as is.) If you're using the other lamp with the fancy one, to make them work together, connect them by spray painting the right side one in a color that comes from the globe's colors. I think you'll have it all worked out just fine :-)Helpful Reply

Joline Cosman on Nov 03, 2014I agree with a few of the comments asking why you would want to ruin a perfectly good (and beautiful) vintage lamp, however....... Lamp parts all screw together like plumbing supplies. There are standard sizes for different pieces, and you can easily use your imagination to take a lamp apart, and put it back together as you please. Wiring a lamp is easy as pie. Hope Depot or a nice friend, can show you how a lamp is wired. No huge mystery ! Have a ball with this project, and show us a picture of the finished product !!! LOLHelpful Reply

Jeannie Andrews on Jan 10, 2015I am concerned with Animal Rescue and I love old furniture and accessories. I find it very reasonable to find folks talking about pieces they love the same way that other people talk about disadvantaged cats and dogs, and various other disadvantaged animals. It doesn't seem odd to me that we have similar likes and dislikes that can be attached to the animals and our beloved furniture and pieces. Just an aside....:)Helpful Reply

Juanita casey on Jan 22, 2015Take both lamps apart and mix and match components to get the base you want. You might consider painting the base in a color made by mixing black and moss green, to blend both with the green on the globe and also with your furniture, though not exactly matching the color of either. Lamp 'guts'are pretty standard.Helpful Reply
