Large copper masthead ships lamp

This large copper masthead ships lamp by Telford Crier and Mackay Ltd was made in the 1930’s.

This masthead lamp has the attractive tall chimney with the outlets at the top and a swing handle loop to help its hanging, it also has the lugs to each side for it to be supported on the masthead.

To the rear it has a sliding cover to allow access to the interior. Originally it would have been an oil lamp but has been converted for electricity.

Masthead lamps were essential navigational lights carried by vessels at sea to indicate their position, heading, and status to other ships, adhering to international maritime regulations established in the late 19th century.

These lanterns were traditionally constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant metals such as copper and brass, fitted with heavy Fresnel glass lenses designed to magnify and project light over long distances.

Authentic pieces typically feature makers plates, hand-riveted or soldered construction, heavy cast brass fittings, and signs of genuine age such as patination and surface wear consistent with marine use.

Such pieces function well as statement focal points when placed on sturdy surfaces or converted for electrical use, adding industrial and historical character to coastal, rustic, or eclectic spaces.

Conservation generally involves dusting with a soft cloth and preserving the natural oxidised patina rather than polishing it to a bright finish, which can strip away historical value.
