1920 - 1940
Description

A classic 1920-1930's large opaque etched glass ceiling light with a copper top. It is in very good condition.

It is difficult to show it as its best without fixing it to the ceiling. Please ask if you have any questions.

The glass shade is approximately 35.5cm in diameter and 14cm deep, and approximately 38cm wide.

The top fits flush to the ceiling using the two purpose made screws - see photo 3 -and once in position the shade goes into the copper ring, secured with the long finial - Photo 4.

The copper top was once painted white and there are a few signs of paint inside of the light, but not visible when the top is in place.

Postage and packing is included in the price for the UK mainland only. For outside areas or delivery abroad please contact us for a delivery quote.

Collection by appointment from SW London, or the Esher area of Surrey if preferred, and we will offer a good discount.

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

Lighting from the 1930s often combined geometric and floral acid-etched glass patterns with metal mountings such as copper, chrome, or brass, designed to mount close to the ceiling in domestic interiors.

These fixtures typically feature moulded pressed glass with acid-etched frostings, cut glass motifs, and press-formed metal gallery rims supported by internal bulb holders.

Authentic pieces show period-appropriate surface wear on metal fittings, sharp wheel-cut or acid-etched details rather than painted imitations, and slight irregularities in glass thickness.

Flush mount fixtures from this era suit lower ceiling heights, providing ambient diffuse illumination in hallways, bedrooms, or bathrooms while adding geometric period detail.

Remove the glass shade and wash with warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive cloths on etched sections, while wiping metal gallery rims with a dry microfibre cloth.
