Description :
Antique Art Nouveau three-light brass ceiling fixture featuring three stunning blue opaline ruffled glass shades. The fixture has a warm aged brass finish with a compact center body and gracefully curved arms, showcasing the elegant organic styling popular during the early 20th century. The original hand-blown shades feature white cased opaline glass with soft blue marbling and vivid cobalt blue crimped rims. These highly decorative "flower" shades are among the most desirable styles used in Art Nouveau lighting and create a beautiful diffused glow. The fixture retains its original brass sockets, arms, and canopy assembly with a naturally aged patina that collectors appreciate. An excellent candidate for restoration or rewiring, or a beautiful display piece for a period home. Approximately 14–16 inches in diameter overall. Height varies depending on installation. Good antique condition with attractive age-related patina to the brass. The three glass shades appear free from major chips or cracks in the photos, with expected manufacturing variations. Wiring appears older and should be inspected or replaced by a qualified electrician prior to installation. Please review all photos carefully for condition details. Art Nouveau lighting from the early 1900s emphasized flowing lines and botanical forms, often paired with hand-blown opaline art glass shades. Blue ruffled "flower" shades like these remain highly collectible today and are frequently found on French and American Art Nouveau fixtures. Original examples continue to command strong prices due to their craftsmanship, decorative appeal, and increasingly limited availability. $450–800 Professionally Restored/Rewired: $800–1,200+Measurements
