<p>[QUOTE="Suzy, post: 817923, member: 8528"]25 inch long Art Nouveau (?) ceiling light, complete with original ceiling plate. The fitting is unmarked, but has some typical WAS Benson elements in its construction - it also has a typically Powell large, striped, Vaseline pendant shade. Could it have been commissioned?
