Vintage Metal Ceiling Fixture Mounting Base – White Enamel, 5 ⅝" Diameter

Description :
This vintage steel ceiling fixture mounting base features a round form with a raised center collar and pre-drilled keyhole slots for electrical mounting. The original white enamel coating shows aged wear and rust patina, revealing the raw steel beneath — a hallmark of mid-century industrial utility design. Measuring 5⅝" in diameter by 3" high, this piece likely served as the mounting bracket or base for a flush-mount or pendant-style light fixture. Its rugged construction and authentic patina make it ideal for lighting restoration or industrial decor projects.
