Vintage 1950s Flush Mount Ceiling Light Fixture with Scalloped Fitter Base

Flush mount light fixtures were popular in postwar housing design because of their ability to deliver ambient light while staying unobtrusive in their appearance. It's a good thing, too, because ceiling heights became more standardized and, more often than not, lower in height due to the high demand post-war housing boom. While mid-century flush mount light fixtures fell out of favor in the 1970s and 1980s, they have recently made a comeback as part of the retro and vintage design trends.

The etched ceiling light features a new porcelain socket wire etc. The fixture has been cleaned and detailed and is ready to install for your convenience.

Measurements: The fixture measures 4 inches tall and 7 1/2 inches wide.

Condition: The fixture features a new porcelain socket, wires, wire sheathing, mounting bracket, thumb nuts, and a lacquered finish. The shade is in good vintage condition. The fixture pan is showing its antiquity with age spots and some tarnishing.
