Free UK shipping on orders over £50
A wonderfully unusual vintage shell table lamp and genuine cabinet-of-curiosities piece.
Featuring a large natural bullmouth helmet/conch shell, mounted upright on an attractive shaped wooden base. The shell has fantastic natural colouring, ridged detailing and a lovely aged, weathered appearance.
The lamp retains its original-style fitting and switch, adding to its vintage character.
⚠️ Please note: the lamp is currently NON-FUNCTIONING and is supplied WITHOUT A BULB. It has not been electrically tested and should not be connected to the mains in its present condition.
That said, for someone who is a dab hand with vintage electrical fittings, it certainly looks like it could be brought back to life — alternatively, it makes a fantastic decorative shell display exactly as it stands.
A wonderfully quirky piece of vintage nautical décor, perfect for a cabinet of curiosities, study, eclectic interior or collector of unusual natural-history objects.
Condition: Vintage condition with age-related marks, surface wear and imperfections to the natural shell and wooden base. These are part of its character and should be expected. Please study all photographs carefully.
