Can you put it outside? would be very cute in a cozy patio setting, hung like a swag...and if electricity isn't available, maybe you could remove the light bulb, and use strong wire to create a form to hold a tea light candle (imagine 3 separate wires somehow connected wrapped around? to the socket part and running straight down, and then form a circle from wire that would attach at the bottom of the 3 wires maybe by just simply bending the straight wires upwards or crimping it around the round shaped wire? measure the circular part so that it would be small enough to hold tightly a votive candle holder or tealight?

WOW!!! Beautiful. Glass globe = totem or hanging decor... crystals... lots of ideas. Somewhere there's a post with alot of old light globes made to hang outside... wish I could remember who it was. I'm going to do a search. Please show us all the projects when you are done!!!

That's pretty. In the second picture look at the colored shadow it puts on the wall, and the shadow of the prisms underneath the red. At first I thought- oh, look she's got a chair rail and wallpaper that matches the lamp- then I realized it was the shadow from the lamp.

I agree it would be very pretty hanging over a little table and chairs. A nice place for some gardengals to have tea.

Wow, oh WoW, that is a fantastic light - I'd leave it just as it is quite frankly. If you do want to put it outside though can you make it into something where you still use it as a lighted decoration - put on a pedestal base with a candle in it so it continues to light up. I think that would be great.

I hadn't even considered removing the electrical portion of the light so when I got home from work last night I took a closer look at the center of the lamp. It looks like it would be pretty easy to remove the wires and I think I might even be able to set an oil lamp in the center where the light socket is now. That would be great since it's a reproduction of a victorian library oil lamp. I have a sitting area set up under the large oak in my back yard and there's a large branch going over the table. If I used one of those plant pulleys then the lamp would look perfect there and still be usable. While it won't go with anything inside my house, it would look great in my shade garden.

It's really too pretty to take apart.

Oh, karalyn, that sounds perfect in the shade garden hanging from a branch! Hope you show us when you get it out there.

If you're not too fussy you can just cut the wires off as close as you can and pull them out through the chain.

It really adds a magical touch to the garden to have a little candlelight or oil lamp out there in the evenings. You're gonna love it!

Me again :) I was just looking at the Firefly Lights post. You could do a little firefly light with it too-like they are talking about-that would be pretty! I guess the outside mini Christmas lights would be ok to use.
