Pair of Art Deco Ceiling Light Fittings

1900 - 1920
Description

A superb pair of large Art Deco ceiling light fittings in excellent antique condition. The solid oak frames are boldly carved with stylised flame finials and scrolling Deco motifs, the workmanship crisp and confident. Each shade is formed from multiple shaped alabaster panels set within the oak gallery — a more refined construction than the usual single‑bowl pendants. Removed from Castle Dunlossit on the Isle of Islay, they carry desirable Scottish estate provenance. Substantial, architectural and clearly commissioned for an important interior, pairs of this scale and quality are increasingly scarce. A rare opportunity to acquire a matched pair of statement Art Deco lights, elegant and steeped in Hebridean history.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Art Deco ceiling lighting typically features geometric symmetry, stylised natural motifs, and translucent materials such as alabaster or moulded glass. Originating in the 1920s and 1930s, these fixtures combine functional illumination with architectural carved or cast elements.

These lighting fixtures are constructed using carved natural alabaster stone for diffuse light distribution, paired with carved timber or cast metal supporting rims. Suspension is typically achieved using link chains or metal rods fitted to ceiling canopies.

Authentic period light fittings show irregular natural veining within the alabaster bowl, hand-carved details on the wooden or metallic framing, and historical construction methods such as screwed bracket mounts rather than modern adhesives.

A pair of pendant lights can be suspended symmetrically over a long dining space, positioned down a central hallway, or placed within a large entrance foyer to create balanced overhead illumination.

Dust alabaster and wooden surfaces regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid applying harsh chemical cleaners or excess moisture to alabaster stone, and ensure electrical wiring is inspected by a qualified electrician prior to installation.
