Edwardian Wooden Boat Lamp with Original Sails
Edwardian Wooden Boat Lamp with Original Sails
6133
An iconic Edwardian wooden boat lamp, retaining the rare and highly desirable feature of its original sails. Evocative of the early 20th-century fascination with the sea, travel, and decorative nautical design, this charming piece brings both atmosphere and character to an interior.
The finely constructed wooden hull supports the original fabric sails, giving the lamp an unusually complete and authentic appearance. Its sculptural profile is equally engaging when unlit, while illumination brings the form to life, casting a warm and inviting glow around the vessel and sails. It is a wonderfully decorative object with the nostalgic appeal of a maritime model and the practical function of a table lamp.
The lamp has been sympathetically restored for modern use. It has been fully rewired with brown twisted fabric flex, together with a new switch and lamp holders, preserving its period character while ensuring it is ready for everyday enjoyment. It has also been PAT tested.
A distinctive statement piece for a library, study, sitting room, coastal interior, or collector's display. Its originality, unusual completeness, and captivating silhouette make it a particularly appealing example of Edwardian decorative lighting.
This must only be used with low wattage LED bulbs to avoid any risk of damage to the sails.
