Vintage Moe Light Flush Mount Ceiling Fixture – White Glass Shade & Ribbed Metal Base

Description :
This vintage flush mount ceiling fixture features a classic white glass shade with clean concentric ridges and a ribbed metal base. Designed and manufactured by Moe Brothers Manufacturing Company, a respected name in mid-century American lighting, the fixture blends industrial strength with minimalist elegance. Measuring 13 ¼" in base diameter, 12" in shade diameter, and standing 4 ⅝" tall, it offers a low-profile yet substantial presence ideal for hallways, kitchens, or entry spaces. The fixture shows age-related patina on the base and minor surface imperfections on the glass, adding to its authenticity and charm. It would benefit from rewiring prior to installation for safety and performance.
