Genuine Salvaged Brass Nautical Post Light

This brass nautical post light comes from old cargo vessels that sailed from the 1950s to the 1980s. Made from solid marine-grade brass with a protective cage and thick glass shade, it’s designed for tough ship conditions – strong and reliable for safe passage lighting.

At 2 kg, it has that proper heavy feel you expect from real ship fittings – premium quality that’s far better than lightweight modern copies. Carefully salvaged and restored in Europe, it keeps the original polished vintage charm but is ready for today’s use as a stylish wall light.
