English Ship Lantern

Black English Ship Lantern with lite panes

Are you daydreaming about serving with Nelson on the HMS Victory? Here is the lantern you need to get closer to the dream. This large hanging candle lantern is a faithful interpretation of the ship lanterns that hang on board the HMS Victory in Portsmouth, England. I worked from images and measurements provided by the museum.

Each lantern is made one at a time, and there WILL be small differences in finish and construction for each lantern.

  • 20” tall and 7.5” in diameter

  • Black or antiqued finish

  • Lite or amber lampshade mica panes

“These lanterns are wonderfully crafted. I bought one back in the winter for a film shoot. Then I bought two more for a different set of scenes in our movie. Rob is a master craftsman. He shipped them to me with lightning speed. They are perfect. I will shop with him again for my period correct lantern needs!”
