Genuine Salvaged Brass Nautical Cap Hanging Light

This brass cap hanging light comes from old passenger ships that sailed in the 1970s and 1980s. Made from solid marine-grade brass with a clear glass shade and protective cap, it’s designed like traditional hanging lantern lights – strong and reliable for ship use.

At 2.5 kg, it has that proper heavy feel you expect from real ship fittings – premium quality that’s far better than lightweight modern copies. Carefully restored in Europe, it keeps the original vintage charm but is ready for today’s use as a stylish ceiling pendant.
