AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage Maritime Bronze Signal/Deck Lamp – No Reserve

A powerful piece of maritime atmosphere for lovers of industrial and nautical design. This vintage ship’s signal or deck lamp, executed in heavy cast bronze and deep ruby-red glass, brings the romance of the open sea straight into your interior. The lamp features its original protective guard cage, a classic detail that once shielded the glass and light source from impact and extreme conditions aboard working vessels.

The vibrant red glass traditionally indicates a signal or orientation function, often associated with port-side (bakboord) indication or night-safe lighting that preserved the crew’s visual adaptation during dark hours at sea. Today, this striking colour transforms the lamp into a sculptural light object with warm, immersive glow.

Crafted from bronze and fitted with a high-quality porcelain E27 Edison screw fitting, this lamp is not only decorative but also fully operational. The included E27 bulb means the lamp is delivered directly ready for use.

Period: Approx. 1940–1960
Marine or industrial lighting, typically used in ship engine rooms, on the bridge, or on deck
Bronze casting and cage construction designed for saltwater and harsh maritime environments
In excellent vintage pre-loved condition, with natural aged bronze patina
Original E27 porcelain fitting preserved and functional
Equipped with later 230V cabling and EU plug for immediate use

Dimensions & Weight
Approx. 22 x 11 x 10 cm (h x w x d)
