Genuine Salvaged Pair of Brass Caged Nautical Post Lights

This matching pair of brass caged nautical lights comes from old cargo ships built in the 1970s. Made from solid marine-grade brass with protective cages and heavy clear glass lenses, they’re designed for tough ship conditions – strong and reliable for safe passage lighting.

At 1.3 kg each, they have that proper solid feel you expect from real ship fittings – premium quality that’s far better than lightweight modern copies. Carefully restored in Europe, they keep the original vintage charm but are ready for today’s use as stylish wall lights with triangular aluminium mounts.
