Ship's American made WWI era brass standing light (lantern) that we have repurposed into a nautical table light. Though a rare survivor of WWI, this lantern is missing its glass cover and interior font light. Retains a pleasing bronzed brass patina. Open at the bottom. This is truly a beautiful interior nautical light, perfect for your coastal home and nautical environment.
The table lamp comes with all-new electrical parts and wiring. The surface has been hand-waxed to enhance the lantern's appearance and protect the aged patina surface. Lamp lighting choices toggle between the interior light and the lamp light via the upper light switch. You can use either the upper room light, the interior lantern light or both as desired. The interior bulb is reached through the open bottom. Measures 7 inches in diameter (not including wire guards) and stands 23 1/2 inches tall to the top of the lamp shade (as shown). Weighs 7 pounds.
LAMP SHADES ARE SOLD SEPARATELY. SHOWN HERE WITH OUR 14 INCH BURLAP-COVERED LAMP SHADE
This style of lantern are known as a "standing light" and were used aboard US Navy ships throughout WWI.
