Antique Five-Light Cast Metal Ceiling Mount Fixture with Floral Accents

Description :
This early 20th-century cast metal ceiling mount fixture showcases an ornate five-socket design with raised floral detailing. Each socket is bordered by a sculpted metal wreath motif, and the surface features flower-shaped screw plates—a hallmark of pre-war decorative industrial lighting. The fixture’s diameter measures 16½" with a height of 4½", making it suitable for medium to large spaces like foyers or dining rooms. The original wiring remains but will require a full electrical restoration prior to use. The body retains its original aged bronze finish with worn paint and patina consistent with decades of use. The fixture would pair beautifully with ribbed glass shades or etched globes from the same period. A striking salvage piece, this ceiling mount embodies early Art Deco-to-Transitional styling, blending the floral motifs of the 1920s with the symmetrical industrial design language of the 1930s.
