You're in NY, you can get anything. Go to an architectural hardware supply house and check out sconce hardware. Try Ikea, they have UL listed inexpensive fittings. Seems like a natural for a company that sold sconce molds to sell the fittings, hmmm. Brock

Or try Grand Brass Lamp Parts. They used to be on Grand in Chinatown... but I think they moved to Brooklyn.

Lauren:
Bullseye makes sconce hardware for two of their molds. The half-cylindar one (8725) is pricey... 95.25. It has only one bulb and holds glass at a maximum height of 10". It can't be modified for greater length unless you do some welding (the top and bottom clips are made of brushed stainless steel). Please keep in touch. I'd like to know where to find a longer holder, for two lights placed vertically.
Nikki in MD where we're expecting an ice and freezing rainstorm.
