Lighting 101. A fixture is anything that is fixed to a floor, wall or ceiling. A light fixture can be a chandelier, pendant, wall bracket, sconce, flush mounted or canopy mounted lamp holder. Chandeliers are typically pendant fixtures with arms and bobeches that mimic candle holders. In French, Chandelier means something that holds candlesr. A light fixture is referred to as a luminaire as a general term in French and also English today distinguishing it in plans as a fixture that lights. Luminary is also used. That fixture is a flush mounted luminaire or light fixture unless it hangs. Then it is a pendant mounted luminaire or fixture. A lamp is a the electric part that lights up. A bulb is a type of lamp but a lamp is not always a bulb Whatever it is a great looking piece from the 30s Art Deco period but with a neo classical design. I would really like to have it.
