A very stylish Anchor Oil Lamp, a great feature on the boat or in the house.
The Nauticalia anchor lamp - traditionally hung from the mast and able to burn all night to warn other vessels whilst at anchor - are made to the style still used by some international shipping as a reserve in case of electrical failure. They have dioptric lenses and the handles at top and bottom incorporate a rope fixing ring. This lamp with an oil burner measures 11.5" ( 29cm ) tall.
Brass - an alloy of copper and zinc - is easy to work with, can be polished to a gleaming shine, and it has a high degree of corrosion resistance, making it the traditional choice of metal for use in harsh marine environments.
