Era / Decade
Modern reproduction (Post-2000) of early 20th-century maritime design

Condition
Excellent. The brass retains a high polish without visible heavy tarnish or pitting, and the glass globe is intact with no visible cracks or chips.

Description
This nautical-themed pendant light features a classic marine cargo design with a brilliant polished brass finish. The fixture includes a tiered metal upper housing and a circular reflector shade that directs light downward. A large white opal glass globe provides soft, diffused illumination. Perfect for coastal, industrial, or farmhouse-style decor, this fixture adds a touch of maritime history to any interior space.
Key Features
Polished brass finish, classic nautical/maritime silhouette, white milk glass globe, adjustable chain link suspension, high decorative appeal for coastal-themed homes.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely a professional reproduction for commercial interiors (Disney’s Old Key West Resort decor); lacks certain weathering or heavy patina found in authentic salvaged marine lights. Confidence: High (as a reproduction item).
Flaws to Note
Minor surface dust and faint fingerprints on brass housing; potential light surface scratches consistent with use in a commercial restaurant setting.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid high shipping costs for glass/heavy metal; eBay or Etsy for those looking for specific 'Nautical' or 'Industrial' decor pieces.
Selling Tips
Market with keywords like 'Nautical,' 'Industrial,' 'Coastal Decor,' and 'Brass Pendant.' Since this is installed in a Disney resort (Olivia's Cafe), mentioning the Disney provenance in a listing title may attract 'Disneyana' collectors even if the light itself isn't Disney-branded.
