REAL DEAL ART DECO ERA HANGING LAMP. THIS LAMP WILL AWE ALL WHO SEE IT!!! I WAS SUPER LUCKY TO FIND THIS AND BRING IT BACK TO LIFE. IT HAS HAD SOME WORK DONE OVER THE LAST 80-90 YEARS BUT IT IS STILL JAW DROPPING GORGEOUS. IT HAD QUITE A BIT OF CORROSION WHEN I FOUND IT. I USED 0000 STEEL WOOL ON THE ALUMINUM AND STAINLESS STEEL TO GET MOST OF IT OFF BUT THERE IS STILL A LITTLE THERE. THE SHADE IS ABOUT 21 IN DIAMETER AND IS IN ITS ORIGINAL PAINTED ENAMEL WITH BARE ALUMINUM ON THE RIM AND BULB SHROUD. IT IS SORT OF AN IVORY/OFF WHITE NOW BUT COULD HAVE VERY WELL BEEN BRIGHT WHITE WHEN MADE. I DID A LIGHT CLEANING ON THE ENAMEL AND GOT THE SURFACE GRIME OFF OF IT. SIMPLE GREEN SHOWED THERE IS A BRIGHTER WHITE UNDERNEATH YEARS OF SMOKE (NO SMELL THOUGH) BUT I DIDN’T TAKE IT ALL OFF IN CASE YOU WANT THE FULL VINTAGE LOOK. I ALSO REPLACED THE CEILING FLANGE. SOMEONE HAD PUT A 70s FAKE BRONZE ONE WITH A PULL CORD SWITCH WHICH WAS DEFINITELY NOT CORRECT. I WENT BACK TO A SOLID/HARD WIRED TYPE THAT LOOKS MUCH BETTER. PLEASE NOTE, YOU MAY HAVE TO ADD ADDITIONAL, OR CHANGE THE FLANGE TO FIT YOUR APPLICATION. I TRIED TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE BUT THIS IS A 1920s OR 30s LAMP AND WAS NOT MADE FOR OUR MODERN JUNCTION BOXES. IT CAN BE EASILY DONE THOUGH, BUT YOU MAY WANT AN ELECTRICIAN OR HANDYPERSONS HELP. THE LAMP HANGS ON THE ORIGINAL SLIM ROD, ABOUT 24 DOWN, WITH A SWIVEL IN CASE YOU HIT YOUR HEAD : THE BULB IS A SUPER UNIQUE, LARGE SCREW IN TYPE WITH THE BOTTOM HALF PAINTED SILVER. IT HAS CHIPS IN THE PAINT BUT THANK GOD IT STILL WORKED! PICTURES WERE TAKEN IN MY SHOP… PLEASE DISREGARD THE BACKGROUND… I LOVE FIXING OLD STUFF : SOME PICTURES ARE LIT, OTHERS ARE NOT SO YOU CAN SEE BOTH ASPECTS. IT GETS ATTENTION EITHER WAY! IF YOU ARE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER OR JUST A RETRO FAN, THIS PIECE IS GOING TO MAKE THE ROOM! HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE EXACTLY LIKE THIS AND NOTHING WITH THIS VIBE.
