Striking vintage-style nautical compass lamp featuring a substantial polished brass housing, working electric lamp and integrated compass. The large compass face is mounted in a cylindrical brass binnacle-style housing with a separate side lamp compartment and hinged brass door. The lamp has been tested and lights up, making this both a highly decorative nautical display piece and a functional lamp. Compass face and directional markings remain clearly visible. Mounted on a substantial wooden base with brass trim. Approx. 11” wide by 10” high and 8” deep. Features a hanging/mounting loop on top, vent holes around the housing and original-style electrical cord with inline switch. Brass has attractive age/use-related surface marks, scratches, spotting and areas of tarnish consistent with its vintage character. Compass face has some surface marks/scratches visible under close inspection. Wooden base shows normal wear. Electrical cord and switch are present. Lamp tested and working at time of listing. A fantastic statement piece for a nautical-themed room, cottage, office, bar, boat, marine collection or anyone who appreciates unusual vintage maritime instruments. Sold as found. Please examine all photographs carefully for condition and details. Pickup category timeslot {A}
