These should give you all the info you want. My Mom had one in her previous house and I would recommend you putting in dimmable lights as they can sometimes become obnoxious. 😎

In theory, this one takes it up a notch but I would use a sandblaster or strong etching creme to completely remove the silvering and frost the glass.
