Description
Every night at dusk, the keeper of the lighthouse at Ploumanac’h climbed the spiral stair, one hundred and twelve steps, to light the lamp. His daughter counted them aloud behind him. Below, fishing boats turned toward the beam, and wives on the quay breathed a little easier once they saw it sweep across the water. On stormy nights, she told her own children decades later, the light felt like a promise kept.
This striped lighthouse brings that same steady comfort to a shelf. With its spiralling bands and lively painted textures, it is a natural fit for a beach house, a sailor’s study, or anyone who grew up near the sea. Give it to a friend moving to the coast, a former ship’s captain, or someone who simply finds peace in the sound of waves on shingle.
A closer look
- A lighthouse wrapped in spiralling stripes
- Vibrant painted colours with lifelike textures
- A nautical, coastal theme that suits seaside decor
- Hand-painted by artisans in Limoges, France, on French porcelain
- Tall, slender silhouette that stands out on a windowsill or bookshelf
- A meaningful gift for anyone with a love of the coast
Set it on a windowsill facing the water and let it keep watch. On grey days it is a small reminder that harbour lights always come on. Collectors of nautical pieces will find it anchors a shelf beautifully.
