Offered for your consideration is a rare cast aluminum hanging 5 drop bulb art nouveau ceiling fixture that was made in the 1910`s and is marked LION. This fixture has been restored by a qualified lampsmith trained specifically in antique and vintage lighting. Our goal is to offer the highest quality restorations possible so every restoration starts by having the fixture bead blasted, this is done for several reasons. 1) It is the safest method available, the plastic beads can`t damage the details in the castings. 2) It removes every trace of paint, this brings out the all of the detail in the casting. 3) Every bit of rust and corrosion is removed so t is no chance of rust or corrosion bleeding through the paint at a later date. Hand stripping a fixture can damage delicate castings if you use a wire brush or steel wool, paint is left in the finer details and it leaves the rust behind. The fixture was then sealed in a rust/corrosion inhibiting primer before being hand painted to a level of detail seldom seen on vintage lighting using antique copper, 2 shades of green, gold flake and antique gold, even the back has ben refinished. The original ornate ceiling canopy measures 7 inches across, the fixture is 17 inches across and the drop is 31 inches from flush with the original ceiling canopy to the tip of the original finial, links read more
