Hello Monica,
Thanks for contacting the salvage store.
It does not sound like your fitting was original, as they were aluminium and
glass. The original bathroom light fittings are amongst our rarest and most
desirable items I'm afraid. To enquire about current stock or get put on a
waiting list, please contact Martin Brady on 7638 9967. He does not have an
answerphone, so please keep trying.
Alternatively, www.manufactum.co.uk did do a very good circular fitting,
although it is not domed like the originals. We have them in our flat and like
them alot - but they are not the real thing! It is made by Limberg, price £46.
Have a look at:

Good luck,
Daniel Edwards
