VINTAGE SET OF 3 ART DECO MISSION STYLE CEILING LIGHTS - $200 - (Stanfield, NC)

A VINTAGE SET OF 3 ART DECO CEILING LIGHTS WITH 1 BEING A MAIN 5 LIGHT AND THE OTHER 2 BEING 3 LIGHT. THE MAIN LIGHT IS ABOUT 15 1/2" IN DIAMETER AND 15" TALL AND THE OTHERS ARE 11" IN DIAMETER AND 13" TALL. ALL ARE MADE OF CAST ALUMINUM WITH WOOD RISERS AND INSERT AND TOPPED OFF WITH A CLEAR HOBNAIL GLASS RING. ALUMINUM WAS A FAIRLY NEW METAL BACK IN THE 30S AND MORE EXPENSIVE THAN YOUR TYPICAL CAST IRON OR BRASS LIGHTS. NOTICE THE ART DECO WINGS BETWEEN EACH LIGHT AND ARE NOT PAINTED BUT POLISHED AS IS THE CENTER RING. THE WOOD INSERTS ARE IN THAT CENTER WITH A BRASS FENIAL. ALL LIGHTS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND WORK. THE ORIGINAL FINISH ON 2 LIGHTS ARE PRETTY GOOD WITH SOME SIGNS OF AGE LIKE FADED PAINT, SCRATCHES, CORROSION AND DIRT. THE THIRD LIGHT SUFFERS FROM HEAVIER SYMPTOMS OF AGE AND MY GUESS IS BECAUSE THIS ONE WAS LOCATED NEAR A HEAT SOURCE AND HAS MORE CORROSION ON THE TOP OF LIGHT AND THE VARNISH ON THE WOOD HAS DARKENED AND THE LOSS OF PAINT IS MORE PRONOUNCED, AND THE TOP PART OF THE WIRING HAS BEEN REPLACED AND A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER TWO PROBABLY FROM THE INSULATION ROTTING AWAY. ALL THE WIREING LOOKS GOOD TO USE BUT IT IS OLD AND I'LL LET YOU LOOK AND DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO REWIRE OR NOT. YOU DON'T COME ACROSS A SET LIKE THIS OFTEN AND IN WORKING CONDITION AND STILL LOOKS GOOD. PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES FOR CONDITION AND DESCRIPTION AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS AND SHIPPING IS FREE IN THE LOWER 48 STATES.
