Royal Navy Lamp Brass Miners Safety Lamp with Green Glass London 1920 Design

This brass safety lamp, featuring a prominent green glass lens and a visible “London 1920” marking, embodies classic maritime and mining design. Constructed from solid brass with a ventilated top and protective cage around the lens, it reflects engineering intended to shield flames from igniting hazardous gases — a feature that made these lamps essential to miners and mariners. The green lens would historically serve signaling or navigational purposes; today it provides distinctive colored illumination and visual interest. The lamp shows attractive surface patina and light wear consistent with age/use, enhancing authenticity and decorative appeal; the glass appears intact in photos but should be inspected for hairline cracks before restoration or use. Ideal for collectors, museums, interior stylists, and restoration enthusiasts, the lamp works well as a display piece, conversation starter, or carefully restored functional lamp by a conservator. Include provenance, exact dimensions, weight, and close-up images of maker marks and lens condition on listings to increase buyer confidence. Gentle brass polishing will brighten the finish, but conservators recommend minimal intervention to preserve historic value. Packaged securely, this lamp is an evocative addition to nautical, industrial, or heritage-themed spaces and an excellent gift for history and design aficionados.
