Description from the seller
Original Veritys “Maxlume” ship’s lamp – Aston, Birmingham (England) – heavy aluminium & prism glass
Beautiful original maritime ship’s lamp from the renowned British manufacturer Veritys Ltd., sold under the well-known brand name Maxlume. This robust fixture is hull from a vessel and was designed for use in the harsh conditions of the merchant navy and the maritime industry.
Veritys was based in Aston, Birmingham, and was internationally known for its high-quality industrial and maritime lighting. The Maxlume series was applied on merchant ships, offshore installations, engine rooms, and other industrial environments where reliability and durability are essential.
The lamp is manufactured from heavy cast steel and fitted with a thick prismatic glass shade, which provides a beautiful diffuse light. The original industrial finish and attractive patina give the lamp an authentic appearance.
The original fitting is still present. The lamp has not been modernised; for use the buyer must attach a mains cord and any new wiring themselves. As a result, the lamp remains largely in its original condition.
