Antique Metal Ceiling Light Base

Description:
This antique ceiling light base features an ornate metal upper section with a decorative, scalloped edge and a flared metal body. The base has an aged patina with visible oxidation, giving it a rustic, industrial appeal. The socket area is fitted with a white ceramic insulator, indicative of early 20th-century lighting fixtures. It is designed to hold a glass globe or shade, making it a great candidate for restoration or repurposing in vintage-style interiors.
