Mid-Century Modern 1950s frosted glass flycatcher hanging ceiling light with black Pattern and gold trim

Mid-Century Modern 1950s frosted glass flycatcher hanging ceiling light  with black Pattern and gold trim

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

This flycatcher ceiling light has black and red patterning and a gold line running around the top and around the frosted glass base.

The simple shape and laid back colours make this light a good choice for your Mid-Century Modern interior. It looks good lit or unlit.

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

Each light 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 match 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. 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 and nut.

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

This Mid-Century Modern Flycatcher ceiling light comes complete with a 12w LED (Dimmable) bulb.
