Dear all,
I wouldn't have the first idea about locating an antique lantern or a
replacement chimney, but I do know loving teamwork when I see it, and I
have to say what pleasure I've taken from these exchanges, all of you
helping one another as Winedale taught us to do. Go, Madge.

Hi all -
I went to the lamp store and talked to the owner. She looked the lamps up
in her database of all things lamp-related and thinks we will probably need
to get the chimneys made (ugh). I say we keep looking. Here is the store
info, in case anyone is interested. Lots of cool antique lamps and sconces.

Thank you all so much for your responses and help. Laurel, that is a great
idea to check in with that store on Burnet. Thank you for offering. Leigh,
I'm so glad you found a place that makes custom chimneys, a great fallback
if it comes to that. Heather, that shape does look right...I will order one
of those Dietz Globes to see if it works. Terry, I'm excited you are
working on a cabaret and will take to online sleuthing after. Kathy,
Idalia, and Emily thank you for joining the hunt. I think it would be
really cool if we find not just a suitable replacement, but two of the
actual Artolier globes. Mike, I think I'd like to find replacement globes,
if possible, first before looking to replace the lanterns. There's no rush.
But you bring up an interesting point, though, about replacement lanterns.
My understanding is that the Theatre Barn is not held to the same
historical standards as other buildings on the property. I don't quite
understand why, but I am interested in learning more and will share once I
do. I just love the look of these lanterns and they do work...they just
need some TLC and some missing parts.
Apparently, Winedale was rented out for a wedding at some point, and that
is when the globes on the back two lanterns were broken. So rest easy that
it was not Sh@W folks that did the breaking.
Thank you all for joining in!
On the list soon is updating the Welcome sign. That was given to Doc from
the class of 1994. Doc and the class built the berm and set the posts and
Susan Todd's sign shop did the work on the sign. Susan, I'll be looking to
you for advice on how best to refurbish the sign. Does anyone know about
the rose bush that grows behind the sign? That came later. I'm wondering if
there's a story connected to that rose bush.
More soon!
Madge

I did some poking around on various websites when this notice came across,
and I found myself coming up with results similar to Madge's. This led me
to wonder (a) if a good solution might be to find four matching lanterns of
similar vintage and materials--possibly from Artolier--and (b) would four
lanterns of this sort be sufficiently authentic?

Hi Madge and Laurel –
I love this kind of project!
Couldn’t find the right size here:

But this company makes custom lamp chimneys:

Hi Madge -
There is a fantastic lamp store on Burnet Road that also has an excellent
restoration crew. I will drop by there, and see what they could do for us,
or see if they have suggestions.
Thanks,
Laurel

Hi Friends,
The Theatre Barn at Winedale has four vintage lanterns that I'm sure you
will recognize. Two are in the front and two are in the back. Two of the
four glass chimneys are broken. Rather than replace the fixtures, I would
love to track down some replacement glass chimneys. They are an
unusual size. The glass chimney says "Artolier Corp." in cursive writing at
the top of the glass. It is approximately 9" tall with a fitted top of 4.5"
and a fitted bottom of 5". Below I've pasted pics and links of ones I've
found online, but these have already been sold. Are any Shakespeare sleuths
or antique pickers out there willing to join me in this search? If we could
find them, I believe Winedale Historical Center would reimburse us for the
cost.
