Schoolhouse style, raw aluminum, semi-flush fitter, which has a new bulb socket installed, that's holding an Art Deco style, milk glass shade. It's a pretty sharp looking light. The fitter is pretty clean (minimal paint up where it met the ceiling), and you'll need a wide mounting bar with 5 1/2" on center screws (not included). I believe a good hardware store would have bars that adjust out to fit your needs.
