Impressive extra large art deco glass flycatcher light with orange, amber, black and white marbling and fluted stepped design

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

This is an exceptional piece — the fluted stepped design is a hallmark of the finest Art Deco glasswork, and the bold combination of orange, amber, black and white marbling makes this extra large flycatcher a truly commanding centrepiece. It glows magnificently when lit and is a sculptural work of art when unlit.

I have carefully restored this salvaged light to its former glory and fitted it with new bronze components; chains, glass bowl hooks, 3-hook ceiling fitting and lamp holder. It has a new deep stacked wooden pattress and is fitted with black fabric flex. The ES (E27) lampholder has been PAT tested for safety.

Each one is original and has been used and shows 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 large stepped double wooden pattress is supplied in natural pine and can be painted to suit your ceiling colour or contrast with it (If you have an existing plaster ceiling rose your electrician can just use the metal 3 hook ceiling plate).

The flycatcher is fixed to the ceiling with a circular 3 hook ceiling rose and is supported by 3 chains. The height of the flycatcher can be adjusted when fitting by removing a number links from the chains (I suggest no more than 2 to 3 links).

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