Pair of Japanese Nippon Sento Ship Lanterns with Green and Red Glass, Unwired

About the Item

A pair of Japanese Nippon Sento ship lanterns circa 1966 with green and red glass. These authentic Japanese Nippon Sento ship lanterns, dating back to 1966, are a maritime enthusiast's treasure. Constructed with robust metal casings, they house vibrant green and red glass panes, traditionally used for port and starboard navigation. The soft illumination in the images, produced by candles, highlights the glass's rich hues, though the lanterns are not electrically wired. In a home setting, these lanterns can transform into a nautical statement piece, evoking the spirit of the sea. They can be strategically placed to flank a fireplace. Alternatively, these could be repurposed into bespoke lighting fixtures by an imaginative homeowner or serve as conversation-starting decorative items on a mantelpiece or in a themed room, adding a historical touch to modern living spaces. Their storied past and visual appeal make them captivating additions to any interior that cherishes unique finds with a story to tell.
