Light Fixtures: Deco Style

Reviewed by:

Elaborate designs and careful craftsmanship of antique light fixtures can add old-house character to a new building. Perhaps that's why most of the vintage lights restored by this company end up in new houses.

This early 1900s light fixture has been rewired and restored (preserving the original finish) and is ready for installation. The Art Deco style ceramic fixture takes two bulbs, and no shades. Many late 19th and early 20th century fixtures were bare bulb, allowing people to marvel at home electricity.

Deco Style Fixture, X20303, is $130 (April 2006).

Size: 12" long, 6-1/2" wide
