Extremely Rare Antique Ship Lamp – Early Design with Flat Glass Panels (c. 1850-1875)
Discover an extraordinary and extremely rare ship lamp, dating back to an era before the widespread use of Fresnel lenses. Unlike the typical cylindrical glass design, this lamp features flat glass panels set in brass frames, showcasing an early and highly distinctive construction style.
Estimated to originate from 1850-1875, this piece demonstrates phenomenal craftsmanship:
- Steel body with copper rivets
- Brass faceted edges for a refined finish
The oil reservoir is a later replacement (the lamp arrived empty), but it fits well after minor adjustments. The wick wheel and burner are marked “Kenyon”, adding authenticity and historical value.
This lamp is not only a collector’s dream but also an exceptional decorative piece—a true conversation starter that fits perfectly in any interior, from classic to industrial.
