These were made as tourist souvenirs but are now very collectable. The stone is beautiful, and the polished surface of the lighthouse contrasts nicely with the rougher texture of the rocky base. The shade is held in place with a wire loop and can be removed by gently pulling it upwards, and then squeezing the wires together to fit the shade over when you want to replace it. It only takes a small bulb so doesn’t give out much light, but gives a nice background light or would maybe make a nice nightlight. The lamp has been PAT tested and is in good working order.
Condition: There is a very small chip in the bottom edge of the shade, otherwise in good condition.
Dimensions:
Height - 35cm (including the shade)
DIameter - approximately 13cm across the base
