Vintage Semi-Flush Ceiling Light with Frosted Ribbed Glass – 1930s–1940s
$ 389.99
This vintage semi-flush ceiling light captures everything people love about lighting from the 1930s–1940s—solid materials, thoughtful design, and a warm, flattering quality of light that modern fixtures often miss.
The thick frosted ribbed glass shade diffuses light softly, eliminating glare while creating an even, comfortable glow that works beautifully in kitchens, bedrooms, hallways, and breakfast nooks. The stepped, machine-age detailing adds subtle Art Deco character without feeling ornate, making it easy to pair with both historic interiors and clean, modern spaces.
What truly sets this piece apart is the custom-made, powder-coated metal canopy. Finished in a period-appropriate green, it recalls original enameled canopies while offering modern durability and a clean, long-lasting surface. Paired with the substantial pressed glass, the fixture feels authentic, balanced, and built to last—not lightweight or disposable.
Installed, this light doesn’t just illuminate a room—it creates atmosphere. It brings a sense of permanence and quiet craftsmanship, the kind of fixture that feels like it has always belonged there and will continue to do so for decades to come.
