Antique Flush Mount Ceiling Lights for Sale
Flush mount lighting is a type of lighting fixture that hangs very close to the ceiling, hence the name. Flush lighting leaves little to no room between the light fixture and the ceiling, so they are a common choice for shorter rooms with lower ceilings.
Despite the simple design, antique flush mount lighting has several attractive options. Antique flush lighting features classic materials, such as bronze, iron, glass, and brass. Although most flush lighting fixtures are round, you can also find unconventional shapes.
Choosing Antique Flush Lighting
Finding the right antique flush mount lighting can be difficult if you don’t know where to start. Below are some key things to consider when choosing antique flush mount lighting.
Flush Mount Styles
Collectors have a significant number of styles to choose from.
Traditional
Traditional flush mounts have an older feel, with elegant decoration and bold, sharp lines. Traditional flush mounts use materials like bronze, brass, or tin and are usually older. Additionally, traditional flush mounts tend to take more of a centerpiece role in the room with their extravagant designs and finishes.
Transitional
Transitional pieces combine traditional and contemporary styles, featuring smooth lines and softer tones. Transitional flush mount lighting features materials like glass or ceramic.
Contemporary
Contemporary flush mount lighting incorporates a wide range of design styles and materials, including glass, crystal, tin, and paper. Contemporary flush mount lighting can have an experimental feel and irregular shapes. However, some contemporary designs have clean and regular designs.
Width
The width of the mount matters because it cannot take up too much space. As a general rule of thumb, you should measure the width of your ceiling and convert that number to inches; that should be the size of the flush light. So, for example, if your ceiling is 12 feet across, your flush lighting should be about a foot wide.
Focal Point or Not
When choosing antique flush mount lighting, you should consider whether it will be the centerpiece of the room or if it should blend into other decorations in the room.
