Vintage Metal Ceiling Canopy – Industrial Light Mount Cover

Description :
This vintage steel ceiling canopy once served as the mounting cover for a hanging pendant or drop light fixture. Measuring 5⅞" in diameter by 3¼" high, it features a domed shape with a central wiring hole and side cutouts for chain or conduit passage. The heavy-gauge steel construction and worn matte black finish indicate mid-century industrial use—likely in a warehouse, factory, or school setting. The canopy remains sturdy, showing authentic surface patina from age and exposure, making it a great candidate for lighting restoration or as an architectural salvage accent.
