Google to find a specialty lightbulb store in your area or shop on line. How large is large? Can you post a photo?
look online for lamp stores in your area or google the size you need and you will have many options
I believe you can buy an insert that screws into your lamp and then you can use a regular bulb. I can't remember where I once bought one but I'm guess it was the local "Do-It-Center".
That is called a mogul base. I purchase mine at Lowe's. They usually have in 3 way, which I prefer.
Maybe use a socket reducer to use a newer type bulb? Hard to advise you without a picture? how old is the lamp? sounds like a mogul base bulb (e39) https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/5840/ELEC-242515.html
Amazon has the bulbs.... https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mogul+base+light+bulb&sprefix=mogul+bas%2Caps%2C216&crid=O6079ISMPSY8&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amogul+base+light+bulb
Take the burnt out bulb to your local hardware store. They should have them. Please shop and buy from local businesses, not the big box stores if you can do it. I'm real big in supporting local with my business.
Check Home Depot, Lowes, Menards. or a lamp shop.
Thanks everyone for the replies. I did find out that I could buy an insert to place in the mogul base thus changing it to fit a standard base lightbulb. I ordered it from 1000bulbs.com as our Lowe's did not carry it.
