Own a piece of industrial history with this charming decorative replica of a classic miner's safety lamp. Inscribed with details from the famous Mahogany Drift Mine at Beamish in North East England, this lamp is a perfect memento of British coal mining heritage.
Item Details & Features
This item is a decorative reproduction of a Marsaut-type safety lamp, designed for display rather than functional use in a mine.
Inscription: Clearly marked "BEAMISH LAMP No." and "MAGHOGANY DRIFT"
Material: The base appears to be solid, polished brass, while the upper casing and handle are likely nickel-plated metal, giving a mix of warm gold and silver tones.
Style: A classic piece of industrial design that looks fantastic on a mantelpiece, shelf, or desk.
Dimensions: Overall height approximately 40 cm.
Condition
Condition: Good vintage condition. The brass base shows a natural patina with some minor spotting and age-related wear, which adds to its rustic character. The glass section & wick are missing. The plated upper section is bright and intact. Would be perfect to convert to a battery lamp!
