Remember this (not junk, but piece of potential) Art Deco ceiling light fixture?
A customer (who found this light in a box hidden in a house built over a hundred years ago) asked me a few months ago to update the wiring of which hadn't been updated in a hundred years (yes you read that right).
Before I did anything I took a century of dust off and used degreaser to make sure I had a clean surface to update the nickle plating.
I updated the electrical from the late 19th century wiring to the 21st century.
Before and after photos provided by client.
Close-up photo with no shades (I took to show off the details, because I am so proud of this piece), and to show the finial piece I found at ComeOnIn Antiques
Client also purchased matching sconces to go on each side of their fireplace that looks so good!
I loved the interactions with this client and they loved what I did I ended up doing a whole house of lamps for them.
