Description :

A brass‑framed electric lantern with glass panels and a domed ventilated top, marked VIKING on the upper housing. Viking‑branded lanterns were produced by several mid‑century American lighting manufacturers who specialized in adapting traditional kerosene and ship‑style forms into electric household fixtures. These pieces were commonly sold through hardware stores and regional lighting distributors during the postwar period, when rustic‑colonial décor and porch lighting saw renewed popularity.

This example reflects that era’s construction: a UL‑listed portable lamp design, a hinged front door with latch, and a warm, even brass patina from age. The lantern has been configured with an approximately 6‑inch hanging chain, with the plug‑in cord routed through the chain in typical mid‑century fashion. The interior bulb socket remains intact, making the piece suitable for atmospheric display or functional accent lighting.



Includes: Lantern with attached chain and plug‑in cord. Light was tested but bulb did not come on- may need restoration.


Dimensions : 7 in L x 9 in W x 18 in H
