Description :

A striking maritime-style lantern featuring a bold red glass globe encased in a sturdy black wrought iron guard. The brass top and base show fine craftsmanship, including a fluted vented cap that lifts open to reveal the inner chamber, originally designed to house a fuel burner or light source (now absent).

The lantern retains its functional handle and hanging loops, allowing it to be mounted or suspended, as was typical on early 20th-century ships and docks. The deep red lens would have served as a port (left) navigation light, used to mark the vessel’s direction at sea.

  • Material: Brass, red glass, wrought iron

  • Design Features: Hinged top, removable burner housing, perforated base for ventilation

  • Era: Likely early to mid-20th century

  • Collecting Note: Authentic ship’s lanterns with red lenses are popular among nautical and maritime collectors, often displayed as decorative accent lighting or coastal décor.



Dimensions : 11 in W x 14 in H
