Ceiling light
« on: November 13, 2012, 03:34:08 pm »
We found this ceiling light at a yard sale. My husband rewired it and we love the way it looks in the dining room. Since it came from a yard sale we don't know anything about it. Unfortunately the small shades are not very satisfactory replacements. I don't know if you can see in the picture the white bowl is very ornate and heavy. All we did to the metal parts was to dust them. Any ideas on dates and value? Thanks for helping.

Early 20th century for the bowl. Sadly the loss of the smaller shades lessens the value quite s bit.

You obviously bought it because you liked it,and are using it,therefore any value that it has is really irrelevant,..as you are not looking to sell it,...just enjoy it...its not always about money.....

A few years ago I would have priced a fixture like that at around $150. Original shades would have added another $50. Values have changed I'm sure with the economy.

I my neck of the woods would sell for $80 - $100 all original,  Lucky to get $45 - $60 if not.
