Vintage Brass Wall Lantern

This vintage brass wall lantern offers a real piece of maritime history. We salvaged it from a working vessel and left it in its original, unrestored condition. Because of its solid brass build, it has held up over time and developed a natural aged patina. Meanwhile, the original glass dome shows bubbles and pitting — clear evidence of traditional glassmaking and years of use at sea. These features make each lantern unique, with visible signs of a life at sea.

You can easily mount this lantern to any wall, whether indoors or in a covered outdoor area. Since it features an open-bottom design, accessing the interior is simple. This makes cleaning, rewiring, or reconditioning more convenient. As a result, it’s a great option for DIY restorers, collectors, or anyone adding a nautical detail to their space.

Although this lantern is unrestored, it’s full of potential. You could choose to restore it, or you might prefer to leave it as-is for display. Either way, it’s a solid, functional piece that tells a story. Moreover, its original finish and raw look bring character that new fixtures simply can’t replicate.

• Material: Solid brass with natural aged patina
