Yes, this vintage brass cage lamp looks like it has sailed the oceans and is ready to shine in your home right now.

Overview Our solid vintage brass cage lamp has a lovely big dome on top and a strong wire cage round the bulb to keep it safe. It weighs a proper 3.5 kilograms and measures 34 centimetres wide. Families and boat owners across the United Kingdom and Europe hang it up because it feels real and adds that special sea touch to any room.

The Story Behind This Vintage Brass Cage Lamp

This vintage brass cage lamp was made for ships where waves could knock things about. The cage protects the glass so the light keeps working even in bad weather. You will notice straight away how heavy and strong it feels in your hands – 3.5 kilograms of real brass, not like the light copies you see online. It still has the warm golden colour and little marks from its time at sea.

We only sell the lamp itself – no wires, no bulbs, no chain. That way you can choose exactly what you need to fit your house or boat. It has an E27 holder inside and the IP56 rating means it is happy in damp places. Every one is a little different because it is a genuine old piece, and that is what makes it special.

Hang it near our vintage brass ship lights, nautical decorations or authentic ship portholes and you will have a corner that feels like you are on deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you pack and ship this heavy lamp safely?

We put it in two strong boxes with lots of soft padding. Every order is insured and tracked so it arrives safe and sound at your door in the United Kingdom or Europe.

Is this a real old ship lamp or a new copy?

It is 100 percent real. It came from a working vessel and we only cleaned it lightly to keep every mark from its sea days.

Can I buy more than one for my café or hotel?

Yes, we love big orders. Just send us a message and we will sort out a good price and any special requests.

What do I need to add before I can turn it on?

You will need a chain or cable, a bulb and proper wiring. We recommend a local electrician does the wiring so it is safe.

How do I keep the brass looking nice?

Wipe it with a soft cloth. A tiny bit of brass polish brings back the shine. The little marks from the sea are what make it beautiful so do not try to remove them.

Where is the best place to hang this vintage brass cage lamp?

Above a dining table, in a hallway, over a bar or in a covered outdoor space. The cage makes it safe and the weight means it stays straight and steady.
