Frank Morrison Brass and Steel Ship Lantern – Vintage Nautical Light with Chain Option

This Frank Morrison Brass and Steel Ship Lantern was made by Frank Morrison & Son Co. of Cleveland, Ohio. Its mix of brass and steel captures the rugged beauty of authentic maritime lighting. The main body is crafted from brass, while the top, made of steel, exhibits heavy rusting that reflects years of exposure to the sea.

The Fresnel glass lens is in good condition with only light chipping shown in the photos. Although the bottom plate is missing, this detail enhances its rugged, vintage appeal. We’ve hard-wired the lantern for modern use, so it’s ready to install or display right away. You can also hang it by chain, allowing for more versatility in how you showcase it.

Ideal for both indoor and covered outdoor spaces, this lantern brings an authentic coastal touch to entryways, patios, or industrial-style rooms.
