Hughes & Son Ship Binnacle Table Lamp in Patinated Brass This is truly a remarkable table lamp made out of an antique ship binnacle in solid brass. Originally this was a ship’s binnacle - used to house a compass - but after its long working life this binnacle (or rather the top part) was transformed in to a very desirable table lamp. Showing a truly mesmerizing patina and with its original ‘H. Hughes & Son’ name plate up front, this table lamp truly is a piece of art. Great sculptural appearance with the two handles on both sides and the spherical top part. Also, please note the wonderful bolts and screws used.
