Vintporium Architectural Salvage

Vintage 1930s Art Deco Floral Porcelain Pull-Chain Ceiling Light

$ 196.40

Vintage porcelain on the outside. New socket, wire, and hardware on the inside.

This 1930s ivory porcelain flush mount ceiling light has a raised basket-weave body with molded blue and orange flowers and green leaves under a glossy uranium glaze. The edges step down in tiers, a common Art Deco detail, and a fluted porcelain ring finishes the socket. A pull chain switches the light on and off at the fixture.

At under 6 inches across, this porcelain pull-chain light fits hallways, bedrooms, pantries, entries, and other dry interior spaces.

Measurements: 5¾ inches wide, 5⅜ inches long, and 2½ inches tall, not including the bulb.

Condition: The ivory porcelain base is from the 1930s. The socket, mounting bracket, wires, wire sheathing, nickel thumb nuts, and installation hardware are new. The base shows wear consistent with its age and natural variation in the uranium glaze. It also has a small kiln kiss, a mark left where the glaze touched another surface during the original firing, a common mark from the factory.

Electrical: Uses one standard E26 medium-base bulb, up to 60 watts. Works with LED, incandescent, or CFL bulbs. Bulb not included. For dry locations only.

Find Your Part

Search our catalog by part, fitter size, or fixture type — try “2 1/4 shade”, “mogul socket”, or “sash lock”.

Need help choosing or fixing a part? Our Salvage Knowledge Library draws on Vintporium’s work since 2008 to help you identify what you have, pick the right part, or plan your own repair.

 

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.
