Antique Cast Metal Ceiling Light Canopy with Porcelain Socket

Description : This antique cast metal ceiling light canopy features a decorative fluted design with an aged bronze finish and an original porcelain socket. Designed as the ceiling canopy for a pendant or flush-mount fixture, it retains its historic character with a naturally aged patina.
