The Art Deco lines of the canopy which are repeated on the bowl and arms are just wonderful for this period. This light is all solid Lost Wax cast brass (same as jewelry-making) so you know that this fixture has precision of design. We make this light in finishes to complement any decor. First, as pictured, is the "Antique brass finish" which is very authentic to the original. Imagine it also nickel-plated, excellent with the chrome look of Art Deco. Use the drop down menu to select metal finish. Shades are sold separately. This fixture requires five 2 1/4" fitter size shades. The shade pictured is available in two color, frosted or amber. This fixture looks great with antique shades you may already own, or we offer many styles of reproduction glass shades from which to choose.
