These are all fixtures that we have fitted with porcelain sockets and teflon wire so they can be used in covered areas outside the front or rear of your house. These are great period lights that help show off the time that your house was built. The Beveled Glass Lanterns are great front door ceiling lights for period houses that were built before the turn of the twentieth century. The flush fixtures make great outside lights for houses that were built after the turn of the 20th century.
