Vintage French Royalux Hurricane Lantern – Glass Lift Mechanism (27 cm)
Add a rare and elegant piece to your collection with this Royalux hurricane lantern, produced in France and in beautiful vintage condition. This lantern is fully functional and features the unique glass-lift system: by lowering the side lever, the glass rises for easy lighting.
Originally, this model included a protective cage, but it is missing on this example. The top is marked:
Royalux – Bte S.G.D.G. – Made in France
Please note: the sleeve where the tank cap fits has been re-soldered at some point in its history.
Despite natural signs of age, this lantern has incredible character and is perfect for collectors or as functional vintage lighting for your home, garden, or camping trips.
