AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique industrial / maritime ship's lamp – circa 1900–1925
Rare and original industrial pendant lamp, originating from maritime transport or heavy industry, manufactured circa 1900–1925. This type of fixture was used in engine rooms and technical spaces aboard ships or in factories, where robust and safe lighting was necessary.
The lamp is made of hand-hammered copper with heavy solid brass components. The shade shows a handsome, authentic patina appropriate to its age and the original use. Not polished or cosmetically restored.
Equipped with a hinged inspection hatch with thick protective glass and an original opal ribbed glass reflector, which ensures even light distribution without glare. The glass is intact and original, or a very early, correctly fitted replacement glass.
The lamp is complete, with original locking clamps and a hinge construction. The electrical installation has, at some point, been adapted for modern use, which is common for this type of lighting fixture.
