AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ancient large brass naval lantern – domed glass, protective grid and original patina
Fascinating vintage brass naval lantern, of substantial size and strong decorative presence, characterized by a robust construction and a beautifully naturally developed patina over time.
The circular body features a wide front domed glass lens, protected by a characteristic crisscross metal grid, a practically functional element that today gives the lamp a strongly nautical and industrial aesthetic. The top is crowned by a ventilated element with a domed cap and by a large carrying ring, a detail that magnificently completes the silhouette.
Inside there is the socket with the visible bulb. The structure rests on a solid trapezoidal brass base, which allows the lantern to be used also as an important decorative piece to set down.
Particularly beautiful is the brass surface, which retains oxidation, color variations, small stains, scratches and traces of use: signs consistent with the age and nature of the object, capable of giving it that authenticity hardly reproducible in modern nautical-style decorations.
From the photographs the constructive system and the lateral opening of the structure are also visible. A visible wire/cabling is present and not connected, therefore the electrical system is to be considered untested and to be checked professionally before any use. The item is offered mainly for its remarkable decorative and collectible value.
A piece of great atmosphere, ideal in a seaside house, yacht club, restaurant, hotel, industrial loft, studio or nautical-themed environment, but also interesting inserted into contemporary furnishings as a contrasting element.
General conditions: good vintage condition, with evident patina and normal signs of time and use. Please observe the photographs carefully, which are an integral part of the description.
Indicative measurements: overall height about 45–50 cm; body diameter about 28–31 cm; depth about 15–18 cm; base about 25 × 17 cm. Measurements photographed and therefore approximate.
A true scenographic presence, where lived brass, the large domed glass and the protective grid tell perfectly the charm of antique maritime lighting.
