Genuine Salvaged Brass and Aluminium Nautical Pendant

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

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 stylish ceiling pendant.
