A good example of a large copper ship's lamp dating from the early 20th Century. It has a brass maker's plaque stamped "Seahorse. GB. Trade Mark. 29559"
and another brass plaque stamped "Not Under Command". It is made from copper with brass swing handles for hanging and is fitted with clear ribbed glass.
It comes with its original oil burner and an additional circular red glass filter which fits inside the clear glass.
It is a good large size and in good original condition. There are signs of age and use, some knocks and marks and small dents here and there but overall it has a lovely patina. There are a couple of surface chips on the clear glass and one brass support on the circular red filter is missing but it doesn't affect its functionality. The hinged lid opens smoothly although the catch to lock it closed is missing. The lamp has been lightly cleaned and polished and is ready for display.
