Wreckers light
Wreckers Table Light
Inspired by 18th Century maritime folklore, the wreckers lamp was used to lure ships to the rocks on stormy nights in order to salvage their cargo. These primitive light towers evolved progressively into modern day lighthouses as governments took action to map and signal our Coastlines. 60 watt Edison incandescent bulb included. Metal is aged with a distinct patina typical of the oxidation of steel in an ocean environment. This is a handcrafted lamp.
Dimensions 11.0ʺW × 11.0ʺD × 26.5ʺH
