So it goes without saying that when this ancient brass flush mount fixture was demo'd out of a project I'm designing on Park Avenue and 66th Street, I was happy to intervene on its behalf. It no longer had a sensible home in the ultra-contemporary home office we were installing, but that didn't mean it didn't have a home with me. The fact that it looks almost exactly like a port-hole on a boat might have been off-putting to some people, but for my needs-- tucked above the canopy bed frame in our guest room upstate-- it is going to be PERFECT!
Can't wait to get it up and shining.
AHOY!
It does have a nautical look about it . . . that is right in my wheelhouse. Love it! So many people these days replace the real thing for made in China junk. Maybe because it takes a little elbow grease and a think outside the box mentality to see the beauty that others toss out. I am delighted that you saved this old brass light from the trash heap. Good job!
