When you walk into Johnny Albright's work space, you never know what you might find.
Of course you can be assured of a well-stocked supply of vintage and current lamp parts.
What always varies is the something special that makes a custom lamp fascinating and tells a story.
Many customers trust Johnny with their treasures and ask him to turn them into a very special piece.
Recently, a patron asked him to construct a lamp using a large turtle shell.
The results were stunning: the turtle shell itself was set on a handsome mahogany base finished in bronze, topped by an oatmeal-colored linen shade and crowned by a brown jade finial.
When you walk around the Little Red Barn, you'll find all sorts of new and vintage replacement parts for virtually any type of lamp.
Finials, harps, sockets and bases are all neatly sorted and accessible.
Through the years, the Albrights have purchased vintage lamp replacement parts when the opportunity arose.
So browsing through their parts can be pleasantly nostalgic.
Don't miss the shelves of bases; you'll find solid mahogany, brass, metals and even eclectic ash trays from the 1950's.
As an authorized Aladdin dealer, Albright's Little Red Barn carries both new and vintage Aladdin parts too.
Through the years, Johnny's taken care of chandeliers in various levels of disarray.
Perhaps one of the arms broke and needed to be redone, Or the center ball needed replacing or bigger cups were required.
Simple changes can make a huge difference.
With the passing of time, the wires holding crystals in place can be broken with wear.
New brass pins can hold the crystals in place once they are "re-pinned" or twisted into place.
Once that's been done on older crystals, it's very difficult to tell that such work has been done because the new work blends into the piece so well.
