Antique Ship’s Lantern / Cabin Lamp – Beautiful Early Example, c. 1875
Sold
Antique ship's lantern / candle lamp, likely dating from around 1875, possibly as early as 1850–1875. Probably used on board as a cabin lamp for interior lighting.
The construction points to maritime use. Unlike later ship lamps, which typically had round glass and oil reservoirs, this example still has its early-style glass panels. The steel body with brass details gives it an authentic look.
The small decorative knob on top of the chimney is a later addition. There was originally an opening at the top, likely from a small electric bulb fitted at some point, and the brass button now covers that hole. It fits well and doesn't disturb the overall appearance.
The glass panels show some scratches and a few small losses at the bottom — see photos.
Suitable as a decorative piece, or for a maritime collection or candleholder display.
