Genuine Salvaged Brass Nautical Sconce with Cap Shade

This brass nautical sconce light comes from old passenger ships that sailed from the 1970s to the 1980s. Made from solid marine-grade brass with a heavy clear glass lens and protective cap shade, it’s designed to handle tough sea conditions – strong and reliable, just like the originals used for safe passage lighting.

At 3 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 secure wall light.
