Though associated with mid-century lighting designs, round ball or "globe" shades date back over a century and complement many types of fixtures and home styles. Where to begin? Start by looking through one-bulb fixtures in our Period Basics, Arts and Crafts, and Colonial Revival Lighting collections.

Their straightforward, simple styling make round shades a popular choice for outdoor fixtures, but turn-of-the-century indoor wall and ceiling lights were often outfitted with them, too.

Listed as "Staple Glassware" in the R. Williamson catalogue, the original version of this shade was described as "Crystal Roughed" and sold for $3.50 per dozen.
