An authentic, hard-to-source, Maine cedar wood lobster trap buoy marker that we have converted into a coastal-designed nautical table lamp. This buoy is a squat, round example, and retains the original, light orange-red and white painted surface. Shrinkage crack on the side of the buoy and wood dents from actual age and lobstering use. The cotton line is original as well. The number "6191" is carved into the bottom of the buoy. Four feet were added to the bottom for stability. Stands 18 inches tall to the top of the shade (as shown), and 8 inches in diameter. Weighs 5 pounds.
These lobster trap buoy markers were purchased from a retired lobsterman (F.E.Young) who fished out of Spruce Head, South Thomaston, Maine. These are authentic, old, seaworn lobster buoys, retaining a wonderful, aged painted surface, now repurposed as a nautical/coastal table lamp. Perfect for your Maine camp and traditional New England coastal home.
Lamp shades are sold separately and shown here with a 14-inch burlap-covered lamp shade.
