1950s Flycatcher/Plafonnier glass bowl ceiling light with orange marbling

1950s Small Flycatcher/Plafonnier glass bowl ceiling light with orange marbling

Hanging glass bowl ceiling light shades became popular during the 1920s through to the 1950s. They earned the name ‘Flycatcher’ for obvious reasons.

The  orange marbling on this 1950s Flycatcher ceiling light comes alive when lit, one of my personal favourites.

Each flycatcher is original and has been used, showing normal signs of wear and tear.

This 1950s small 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 suit your ceiling colour or contrast with it. I like both.

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 with the plastic grub screw.

This 1950s Flycatcher ceiling light comes complete with a 12w LED (Non-Dimmable) bulb.
