Authentic Salvaged Brass Bulkhead Light

Bring classic maritime style to your walls with this polished brass bulkhead wall light. We reclaim each one from old cargo and passenger ships that sailed from the 1950s to the 1980s. Craftsmen in Europe carefully restore and polish it to keep its original round shape and shine while making it safe for modern homes.

Made from solid marine-grade brass, this light stands up to damp conditions. At 1.5 kg, it feels solid and heavy in your hands – a clear sign of premium quality, unlike lightweight copies. The round design spreads soft, even light, perfect for hallways, bathrooms, or covered outdoor spaces.
