Vintage Bakelite Pineapple Glass Ceiling Light – Retro Flush Mount Pendant Fixture
Add a touch of mid-century charm to your interior with this vintage Bakelite pineapple glass ceiling light, a stylish example of 1950s–60s retro lighting design. This flush-mount ceiling fixture features a pressed glass globe in a pineapple shape, a popular motif symbolizing hospitality and warmth. The glass has a cut-glass style texture, designed to catch and scatter light beautifully, adding subtle sparkle and vintage character to any space.
The mounting base is made from Bakelite, an early plastic widely used in mid-century lighting and electrical fittings due to its durability and sleek appearance. With its rich brown tone and smooth finish, Bakelite complements the glass shade perfectly and adds an authentic vintage feel.
This ceiling light is ideal for hallways, entryways, or small rooms where a flush-fitting fixture adds both style and function. Its compact profile and eye-catching design make it a standout piece for lovers of mid-century and retro aesthetics.
