Works by Marsel - Lamp No. 48

An original 1940’s WW2 Naval copper flood light, restored into a unique designer home/office floor lamp. If lamps could talk, the stories this one could tell.

These old copper flood lights were commonly used on the decks of the 1940’s naval war ships and at base camp sites. They were not this beautiful when in service though. Many layers of paint and grit had to be removed from this old lamp to get to the raw copper. Once paint stripped and cleaned, it was then thoroughly machine polished to a magnificent glow.

The 500watt globe and bayonet were removed and replaced to take regular household energy saver globes. A 3 core cotton weave AC earthed cable has been installed with a new vintage style inline on/off switch to suit.

It is mounted on a beautiful designer classical tripod with bronze coated linkages. The tripod legs are solid teak and are adjustable to the desired height.

Alot of man hours have gone into the restoration of this amazing lamp. A piece of war history to proudly display in your home or office and a great investment as it will only appreciate in value as time goes by.
