Top Class, Arts & Crafts era Chandelier with an Unique Carved Alabaster Shade
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique alabaster shade with carved grapes bunches & leafs and perfect brass canopy. Thanks to its good size, its unique handcarved design and good condition this alabaster chandelier too will light up both your days and evenings. What makes this particular alabaster plafonnier stand out from those that we have seen and sold over the years, are the stylish and all-handcarved grape bunches and grape leafs that are carved all around the high side. For this unique light to still be in this condition after more than 100 years is not only an ode to the craftsmanship with which this light was handmade, it also shows how former owners have taken great care. We could shoot many more photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this shade and you could still not get a good idea of the tranquil beauty and class that this chandelier radiates. In real life (or in person) our antiques always have that little bit more and this stunning pendant is no exception. You are going to (again) have to take our word for it. Have you also noticed the rare, layered bronze elements at the suspension points? This striking, three light chandelier will give enough light for a living room or a dining area, because it will easily take 100 watts per socket. If you use less wattage then this can also be the perfect antique pendant for an entry hall or a master bedroom. Both with the light on and off its timeless beauty will never go unnoticed. The old brass chain and matching adjustable canopy is like the icing on the cake of this stylish chandelier. It is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and thanks to the metal hook inside the canopy, mounting this amazing chandelier can be done in just a few minutes. With perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days included in our fair price this large antique...

Large Superb Condition All White Glass Flush Mount with Wrought Iron Gallery
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique hand crafted, stylized sunburst design two light flushmount / fixture. This 1920s two-light flush mount has the most serene look and feel and you will hardly ever find a light fixture from the early 1900s era in this good of a condition. Thanks to its matt white, single color art glass shade combined with the serene looking, single color wrought iron frame this light fixture could not be more timeless. Thanks to the matt glass shade and unlike almost all other midcentury glass flush mounts, this unique specimen does not at all reflect any of the surrounding colors or sources of light in the shade. Mind you, our photos were shot with this flush mount very close to a window and as you can see, the matt glass shade remains pure white in all of our photos, giving this fixture its unique, 'tranquil' look and feel. Combined with the handforged in fire, wrought iron gallery around the glass shade this timeless ceiling light will also work perfectly in a contemporary interior. Unfortunately we don't know who the designer is, but judging from the Arts & Crafts design and the quality materials, we feel, this should be by one of the better known European artisans from that era. The combination of this flush mount's large size, single 'color' and its timeless design with the hand crafted wrought iron makes it the perfect fixture to complement an Arts & crafts, an Art Deco or a Mid-Century Modern living room, office, kitchen area or bedroom. With only four screws via which you can safely mount this rare fixture tight to your ceiling, this one of a kind light fixture also is easy to 'install'. Both with the light on and off this handcrafted work of beauty is an absolute joy to look at and it will perfectly balance your living space. So if you are looking for an original and timeless fixture, at the best possible price, then this rare flushmount...

Antique and Vintage Flush Mount Lighting

Antique and vintage flush mount lighting fixtures can help you create inviting, ambient lighting in your space, and who doesn’t want that?

While electric light bulbs were a huge improvement over gas and oil lamps for lighting our homes, we still had much work to do in order to arrive at the broad range of table lamps, pendants, sconces and other fixtures that are available today.

Lighting technology and design improved substantially over time. Engaging engineers, scientists, architects and designers alike, the field of lighting became a major proving ground for state-of-the-art materials like plastics, inventive new mechanisms and emotionally resonant styles that included the ethereal (Isamu Noguchi’s Akari light sculpture), the whimsical (Gino Sarfatti’s 2109 ceiling light and Sputnik chandelier) and the eclectically postmodern (the Toio floor lamp crafted by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni). Eventually, flush mount light fixtures became a practical option for home lighting.

Flush mount lighting fixtures are among the most convenient ways to light a small room with a low ceiling. These structures sit directly against the ceiling’s surface and cast light downward, illuminating a large area and defining the room. Semi-flush mount lighting fixtures hang several inches from the ceiling. They also produce ambient light but can be a little more decorative and lean toward the style of chandeliers.

Flush mount lighting is versatile. Larger fixtures distribute more ambient light across the center of the room, while smaller flush mount fixtures are best for accent or task lighting. The main drawback of flush mount fixtures is that they don’t make a strong statement. You can remedy this by strategically arranging decorative accents that flourish in soft lighting.

Lighting is an essential part of any interior design project. Often, having the right light fixture is key to creating an attractive, radiant room. Ample lighting paired with enticing design creates an elevated, inviting atmosphere, helping to set the desired mood. Selecting the right lighting for your home, however, isn’t merely about creating an especially bright bedroom or a moody dining room. There are many different kinds of fixtures and illumination to consider, with flush mount lighting fixtures among them.

Make a statement with a<a href=/furniture/lighting/flush-mount-ceiling-lights/material/metal/ target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> metal flush mount lighting fixture — a copper or chrome fixture can prove dazzling in your living room. Art Deco flush mount lighting fixtures, with their geometrical shapes and unique detailing in crystal, glass and brass, will go toward creating a cohesive look amid your collection of authentic Art Deco era posters and other wall decor.

Hollywood Regency fixtures — defined by a flamboyant design style for which we credit decorator Dorothy Draper — can introduce glamour and glitz to your living room with their mirrored finishes and complex floral motifs.

Explore a collection of antique and vintage flush mount lighting fixtures on 1stDibs to see what style best suits your space.
