A rare marine lighting has arrived

We have received some lamps that were used on ships, and today we have uploaded three lights that can be used either as a standing lamp or hanging lamp.

Ship lighting

First, let me explain about the color of the glass. On ships, green lighting is installed on the starboard side and red lighting on the port side, so there are basically three colors of glass, including clear. So, even if you have the opportunity to purchase marine lighting, it doesn't necessarily have to be clear glass; you're more likely to come across red or green glass.

Furthermore, regarding the shape of the lighting, while there are various sizes and shapes, the 360-degree glass type and small type that we have in stock this time are in very limited supply and are difficult to find.

Furthermore, regarding the texture of the lighting materials, marine lighting is still being made today, of course, and there are many variations, but as an antiques shop, we like things with an old texture. Even the same product will develop stains and rust over decades of use, and each one will have a different look, and this uniqueness is what really appeals to me.

There are some parts that are difficult to convey through photos alone, but please take a look carefully.
