About the Item

A pair of 1940s American bronze anchors repurposed as modern table lamps, professionally wired for use in the USA and mounted on thick lucite bases. The solid cast bronze retains a mellow patina, its sharp contours and smooth curves made even more sculptural against the clarity of the lucite. The design is understated yet bold—reminiscent of early industrial decor, with a maritime twist that doesn’t feel overly thematic. Whether flanking a console in an entryway or anchoring either end of a credenza, these lamps bring weight and presence to a room without being heavy-handed. The warm tone of the bronze blends easily with wood, lacquer, or leather, while the lucite base (measuring 7" of width) keeps the whole composition feeling clean and modern. The silhouette reads as both abstract and familiar—especially striking in coastal homes, masculine interiors, or spaces with nautical influence that leans design-forward rather than literal. Fitted with polished brass hardware and clear cords, the lamps are ready for immediate installation. Ideal for anyone looking to add a sculptural statement to a desk, bedside table, or sideboard. A functional piece of history that bridges industrial Americana and contemporary design.
