Reproduction Lightbulbs from Rejuvenation
Bare light bulbs dangling from the ceiling don’t exactly bring the word style to mind. Interrogation is more on the mark. What do you do with a pendant or other light fixture where the bulb is exposed for all to see? Time to break out reproduction carbon and tungsten-filament bulbs. You can find a nice selection at Rejuvenation. 
Carbon-filament bulbs debuted in the 1890s, and their soft glow illuminated homes until 1912 when the more powerful tungsten filament transformed the light bulb industry. Now they’re back.
Some older homes were built without a ceiling fixture at all – just a socket for the bulb. If you’re interested in maintaining an historic look, these bulbs are the way to go. However, they look best in simple fixtures that showcase their¬† beauty. The filament, shape and quality of light are what make them unique. Prices at Rejuvenation start at $12.00.
Here are a few choices from Rejuvenation, including their Burnside pendant ($113.00) shown in the photo at the top.
These also look great in semi-transparent glass fixtures like those made by Caleb Siemon.
