Genuine Salvaged German Brass Nautical Bulkhead Light

This vintage brass bulkhead light comes from old German passenger ships that sailed in the 1970s and 1980s. Made from solid marine-grade brass with a protective cage and clear glass shade, it’s designed for tough ship conditions – strong and reliable for safe passage security.

At 2.4 kg, it has that proper heavy feel you expect from real ship fittings – premium quality that’s far better than lightweight modern copies. Carefully restored in Europe, it keeps the original vintage charm but is ready for today’s use as a stylish wall light.
