- Ship Lights-

These lamps, lanterns and lights were actually used onboard sailing ships decades ago. Once retired, the ships are essentially "scrapped" and all the tools, parts and various components are stored in shipwrecking yards until we buy them. We carry Galvanized, Brass, and Copper Lanterns (recently copper and brass lanterns have gotten very hard to come by). Occasionally, upon request, sets of two or four may be paired up. Please call or e-mail for availability.

These curved passageway lights are one of our very best selling items. They are great for indoor or outdoor, easy to wire and only cost a little more than plastic reproductions.

These are "4-Bar" lights. (generally about 9 1/4" overall face diameter)

This is a Fox Light. They were used as deck lights on ships. They make great lights in the kitchen, over a bar, or for outdoor use. These are made entirely of copper and brass and come in 3 sizes; "small" with a 9.5" face diameter, "medium" with a 12" diamter and "large" with 17.5" diameter (sizes are approximate).
These lights have been featured in many designer homes and publications including Architectural Digest, Coastal Living and Traditional Home magazine.

These are some copper lanterns that we had a few years back. It is more and more difficult to find these and keep them in stock. Occasionally, we'll run across a few but their availability is low and they are very popular.
