Authentic, American manufactured early 20th century, all brass Perko anchor lantern that we've repurposed into functional nautical table lamp. Thick 360 degrees glass Fresnel lens intensifies the distance of the light similar to a lighthouse lens. Originally a kerosene burning lantern, this old seafaring marine fixture now makes a wonderful table lamp with lots of nautical appeal. Brass top cap above Christmas tree style smoke vents and the lamp brass body retains a patinate weathered surface. The glass Fresnel lens (embossed PERKO) survives in perfect condition, free of chips or cracks! Brass lens guards and two hoisting rings at bottom. The lamp is open at the bottom to access the interior light socket.
The 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. Measures 20 inches tall to the top of the shade (as shown) and 5 ½ inch diameter at base. A great old nautical fixture with lots of maritime charm, re-purposed for today’s nautical home.
