Vintage Hobnail Milk Glass Hanging Pendant Light

Description : This vintage hanging pendant light features a classic white hobnail milk glass shade paired with an ornate brass-tone metal fitter and decorative pierced gallery. Suspended by three chains from a matching canopy, the fixture blends Colonial Revival and Early American styling that was popular in the mid-to-late 20th century. The hobnail shade softly diffuses light, making it an excellent choice for kitchens, dining areas, hallways, or entryways. The fixture shows light age-related wear and appears complete, though the vintage wiring should be inspected before installation.
