About the Item

A nautical Tung Woo starboard ship navigation copper lantern from the early 20th century with label and glass. This nautical Tung Woo starboard ship navigation copper lantern from the early 20th century captivates with its rich maritime history and weathered charm. Adorned with a label marked "Tung Woo" and "Starboard," this lantern boasts a characterful patina that speaks to its years of service on the high seas. The copper body, gracefully aged, showcases a warm, rustic hue, further enhanced by the clear glass that encases the lantern's interior. Originally used to indicate the starboard side of a vessel, this lantern's historical significance is matched by its sturdy construction and functional design.

Perfect for nautical enthusiasts or collectors of maritime artifacts, this Tung Woo starboard lantern can be displayed in various settings. Place it on a bookshelf, mantel, or even a dedicated display cabinet to infuse your space with a touch of maritime nostalgia.
