Extra large Art Deco flycatcher/plafonnier glass bowl ceiling light with brown marbling and moulded chain mounts

Affectionately known as ‘flycatchers’, these hanging glass bowl ceiling light shades became popular during the 1920s through to the 1950s. 

Art Deco is short for French Arts Décoratifs ("decorative arts”). It first appeared in the early 1900s in Paris and flourished in the US and Europe up until the late 1930s.

This light is a perfect choice for an Art Deco styled interior and it looks as good lit or unlit.

The original extra-long period decorative chains would be ideal for a hall or room with very high ceiling.

I have carefully restored this salvaged light to its former glory and fitted it with new period antique brushed  brass  3-hook ceiling fitting and lamp holder. It has a new wooden pattress and is fitted with dark brown fabric flex. The ES (E27) lampholder has been PAT tested for safety.

The original art deco chains and bowl brackets have been lovingly restored.

Each one is original and has been used, showing normal signs of wear and tear.

This Flycatcher ceiling light comes with everything you need to easily convert your existing ceiling fitting. Wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

The wooden pattress is supplied in plain varnished pine and can be painted to suit your ceiling colour or contrast with it.

The flycatcher is fixed to the ceiling with a circular 3 hook ceiling rose and is supported by 3 chains. Please note: due to the handmade nature of the chains please take profesional advice if they require shortening.

Fitting instructions.

1. The wooden pattress should be securely fitted to the ceiling by a qualified electrician.

2. Wiring of the 3-hook ceiling plate and lamp holder should be carried out by a qualified electrician. Please Note: The 3-hook ceiling plate will need to be earthed using the supplied earth tag.

3. The bulb should not touch the bowl (approx 5cm away) and cable should be secured by tightening the cord grip.

This Art Deco Flycatcher ceiling light comes complete with a 13w LED (Non dimmable) bulb.
