Description
I’m very pleased to offer this striking copper plated 1920s 2-bulb ceiling fixture!
THE BACK STORY:
The fixture was originally painted ivory. This finish was really dirty so I soaked it for a while. In drying the fixture with a cloth the paint peeled off the body, STAT, but not on the two bobeches and finial. A second surprise followed when I realized that the steel body was actually copper-plated. Why? Well, as I loved the copper, I decided to leave the deliciously curious result alone: copper and ivory.
2-bulb, oval fixtures like this were ubiquitous in bedrooms and hallways all through the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s, and used in all style houses.

I have a matching fixture!

DETAILS: The fixture accepts standard base 60W bulbs (not included). Clear Edison-style LED bulbs would look well.

SIZE: The fixture hangs down about 4-inches and is 12 x 7-inches wide.
CONDITION:
The copper-plating looks really good (see pictures) but is obviously vintage with minor bits of loss and minor tonal irregularity.
