Where are the best places to buy light fixtures?
We need several fixtures for formal and informal spaces in a 1880s brownstone. Period to modern. Any recommendations in BK or Manhattan? Txs!

Take a stroll through the lighting "district" on the bowery in Chinatown. My personal fav, and where I have purchased many a fixture is:

Take a stroll down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. There are some wonderful antique shops...great fixtures can be found.

I second Daveinbedstuy's advice that eBay has good vintage lighting sellers. I have bought amazing light fixtures on Ebay. A big gilt toleware Hollywood Regency vintage chandelier for our dining room for $250. Delivered to our door by a semi-local seller. And several really cool vintage lamps. You just have to play with search terms and categories, and also revisit the better sellers until you find what you want.
