I found a fixture from Pottery Barn that has a neat looking retracting cord setup with the pulleys and all. Maybe you could get the less expensive one and cannibalize it just for the cord set. The only thing is that it looks like it may be more of a pewter color than the copper you have, so you may need to do some detailing.

Light Fixture


Angelo Bros. licensed the Westinghouse name, they were not bought out, when Westinghouse bought the CBS TV network they sold all their industrial lines, Wikipedia is not the best source but here is a link:

Greg,


I remember the old light fixture my dad had in the dining room of my old house. The dining light would go up and down on retractable cord to what ever height you wanted. Up high, when there was no company and you were cleaning or setting table. Then down low when there was company. Plus you could raise it a bit if you were blocking the face of the company on the other side of the table.

Those pull downs were all the rage in the 60s and 70s but they just seemed to go away.
