Picture fixing this lovely sconce next to your front door or on the side of your boat and watching it cast that soft warm light at night. Our vintage brass nautical sconce brings real ship history into everyday spaces across the UK and Europe. It has that classic projecting arm and protective cage that makes people stop and say “where did you get that?”

Yes, this light is perfect for anyone who loves authentic maritime style. Whether you are lighting a garden path in Devon, a yacht deck in the Mediterranean or adding charm to a hallway in London, it fits right in and works brilliantly outdoors or indoors.

Made from Solid Cast Brass

The whole fitting is cast from durable brass that has already proved itself at sea. The projecting arm holds the ribbed glass globe safely inside the removable brass cage. At 2.7 kilograms it feels properly solid and premium – nothing lightweight or cheap here.

These sconces originally lit passageways on working vessels in the mid-1900s. We salvaged each one and restored it carefully in Europe. You will notice small natural differences in the brass finish and patina – that is what makes yours truly unique and full of genuine sea-going character.
