Description
This driftwood lighthouse and boat ornament sets a little coastal scene on a single piece of natural driftwood. A white wooden lighthouse stands at one end, with a natural wood lantern room, painted blue windows and a small wooden door, while a little boat sits beside it with a wooden mast and two pale blue sails, a pennant flying above a triangular sail. A tiny white and blue lifebuoy rests against the boat. The driftwood keeps its natural grain and weathered edges, giving the whole piece the soft, sun bleached look of something found along the shore. The lighthouse is plain white at the back, so it looks tidy from either side. It stands 10.5cm tall, 19.1cm wide and 6cm deep.
Natural wood and white suit a coastal or seaside scheme, and the piece sits happily on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, windowsill or desk in a living room, hallway, bedroom or bathroom. At 6cm deep, it fits a narrow shelf with room to spare. The pale blue sails pick up the blues and greys of cushions, prints and throws. As a gift, we think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day present for a mum who loves the sea, and a kind thank you for a teacher, something small that brings a holiday by the coast to mind each time they glance up.
The piece is made of wood and is freestanding on its driftwood base, so it needs no hooks, fixings or wall space. It is a decorative ornament, not a toy, so it is best kept where it can be admired rather than handled. To care for it, dust gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush around the mast and sails, and keep it away from water and sprays. Set it where daylight catches the white lighthouse, or group it with a few shells for a small seaside shelf.
