Schoolhouse Fixture Base 4 1/4" Fitter Semi-Flush Ceiling Mount

$ 72.99

The Wired Shade Holder You Have Been Hunting For.

A schoolhouse fixture base has one job: the fitter has to match the shade. This one is cut to a true 4 1/4 inches, replacing a tired or mismatched base beneath a schoolhouse or semi-flush glass shade in an afternoon, no compromise on fit. The body is formed with the clean lines and crisp angles the Moderne style is known for, and carries a porcelain socket for a standard medium base bulb. It is new manufacture, not salvage, so restorers are not gambling on a worn original. Choose antique brass, satin brass, black, bronze, polished nickel, or satin nickel to match the fixture you are bringing back.


MEASUREMENTS

The fixture base stands 4 1/2 inches tall. It measures 6 5/8 inches across at its widest point. The fitter mouth measures 4 1/4 inches.


ELECTRICAL

The fixture uses a porcelain socket with a standard medium base. It accepts incandescent, LED, or CFL bulbs up to 60 watts. The fixture is U.L. Listed and rated for dry locations only.


CONDITION

New.


✓ Free domestic shipping.
✓ 30-day return policy.
✓ Porcelain socket for medium base bulbs.
✓ Six finishes to match any restoration.


This Moderne schoolhouse fixture base is offered subject to availability, as it is listed at other venues as well.

Can't Find the Part?

Looking for a matching sconce, a replacement shade, or an odd-sized fitter? Send us a photo and measurements. A large portion of our inventory is uncataloged. Many of the doors, windows, fireplace surrounds, bath fixtures, and architectural pieces in the yard never make it to the website. If you don't see it online, that doesn't mean we don't have it.

The Vintporium Heritage Standard

The Heritage Standard

Restored by hand, one at a time. Old wire out. New wire rated for present use, sound sockets, and grounding where the fixture allows. The body, glass, finish, and the marks it earned stay. Every fixture is tested on the bench before it leaves the shop.

About the Founder

Joe Golda has run Vintporium from his workshop in San José since 2008. He sources the pieces, pulls the old wiring, rewires them, finishes them by hand, and packs them himself. One person, one bench, one standard. Every fixture is tested — each socket, each switch — before it ships. What's original is called original. What's new is called new. We call this commitment to candor and craft our Heritage Standard.
