I paired this with a gold modern globe (sputnik) fixture in my modern/vintage black (and gold) office and it looks stunning. I painted it a semi-gloss white. The back is not flush, so my husband did a little sanding to even it out so it would sit on the ceiling better. Test it out on the ceiling before getting up there with your light fixture and finding out it is not flush. If you need to sand the back, place an X on the high spots so you only sand what is needed. Be careful around the edges of the piece and sand by hand with a fine sandpaper. This may scare some people off, but a little sanding is not difficult and it is well worth it. On mine, there is still a little gap all of the way around, and I had planned on caulking it. However, I love the way it looks as is, so I am leaving it. I was worried that this medallion would look too gaudy, but it finishes the room. Every time I go in the office, my eyes are drawn up to it and the gorgeous light fixture, and it makes me so happy.Update: I bought a second one for a family member. Same issue, but this one was much flatter on the back. Totally worth it though. She hasn't put it up yet and she is deciding whether she needs to paint it. I say paint it so it will match the crown molding, but it is her choice. It will look good, either way.

This medallion has gorgeous details. The best thing about it is how lightweight it is. It's not flimsy. The material might not weigh much but it's fairly solid and not as fragile as one might think. This medallion is going in my living with an antique bronze chandelier. I painted it a warm coral color to match the room's trim and then added touches of antique gold Rub n Buff to give it some dimension. The paint had a primer included and the medallion covered very well with two coats.The shape is beautiful and classy, not overly fussy or too fancy. Just fancy enough. And it's easy to put in place on the ceiling with liquid nails. A great, inexpensive way to fancy-up any space!

It was great. It took paint well. It's a huge and very luxurious looking size. It's a bit of a weird foam/plaster texture. but I'm sure that was flat and was able to be finish nailed onto my ceiling, so I'm okay with that.

Cute

So happy with this medallion! Our new (very old) house has original tounge and groove wood on most ceilings and walls. The previous light fixture his the big odd shaped hole that was cut for electrical. I ordered this new chandelier for a little modern glam only to find once installed that the collar was too small to hide the hole. So I did some research and a ceiling medallion seemed like it would look amazing and solve the problem of the hole! I ordered the hand painted black that was available as "used" for less than half the new cost! The painted was chipped in placed so I gave the whole thing a fresh coat of black semi gloss spray paint! It turned out so beautiful! Be warned that you will have to Uninstaller your entire light fixture to put this up. Also the nipple in your fixture might not be long enough for the medallion and the chandelier collar. The collar on this chandelier sat on the thickest ridge of the medallion so the nipple was an inch too short. Ordered a new one and problem solved! Great quality, lighter than it looks, and adds such a dramatic effect to the room!

I love this medallion, I’ve ordered plenty. They need to be faster to ship. The medallions are shipped with a piece of bubbles, no protection and in a huge box. Mine arrived broken.

The media could not be loaded. Love it. Such a beautiful piece. Was easy to paint and looks great! Creates such a elegant look. Felt sturdy yet lightweight.

If you want one because it looks good, this is for you. It is very light weight more so then the older plastic ones. Very cool design and because it is made out of foam it is easy to hold up long enough to get the light installed. My wife painted ours so I actually used a couple of screws to mount it, just don't use to much torque and go to deep with them so you can mud the impression and paint it. It looks like the older era plaster medallions that artisans crafted for the rich, very impressive. Very good for the price!
