Early 20th Century Globe Lantern Nautical Table Lamp

An early 20th cenury ship’s globe lantern that was converted long ago into a hanging nautical lamp. We re-purposed the lantern into a nautical table lamp, stripped out the old wiring and socket and replaced with new. The authentic marine lantern features galvanized metal construction with bronze-patina brass chimney cap. The lantern survives with an old black-painted finish and its original blown glass globe in good condition. The top and bottom of the lamp are connected by 6 soldered wire supports which double as guards and wrapped around an encircled center outer guard.  The finished lamp measures 19 inches tall to the top of the lamp shade (as shown) and 7 1/2 inches in diameter (outer guard). Open at bottom for bulb replacement.

This nautical lamp now features a three-way switch that toggles between the upper table lamp light and the interior lantern light. Use together with a light dimmer for ambient lighting control.
