Vintage brass anchor (ankerlicht) lantern repurposed into a nautical table lamp. The vintage DHR anc

Vintage, Dutch-made (ankerlicht) anchor lamp is constructed of solid brass and comes with a polished and lacquered finish. The glass is a Fresnel lens similar to the type used in lighthouses worldwide. This lens amplifies the light from the bulb so that the light appears much brighter than its actual source. Mounted on a double oak wood base with hemp-rope trim. The top lamp lighting is separate from the interior lamp light and is turned on/off with a switch located on the back of the lantern. You can choose either the upper room light, the interior lantern light or both as desired. The interior bulb is reached through the hinged lid of the fixture. This high-quality ship's anchor lantern is exactly like the ones used aboard old seafaring ships, and is hand-made to commercial marine vessel standards. 

The lantern measures 5 3/4 inches in diameter and  the lamp measures 9 inches in diameter including the wood base. Stands 27 inches tall to the top of the lamp shade. Weighs approx. 7 pounds.
