1940's Nickel and Brass Searchlight

Right from the bridge of a 1940s Navy destroyer... heavy cast bronze and aluminium, it must be nautical. Is part of its appeal that its just engineered, not designed? Form follows function.... Balanced on a surveyors tripod. Looking like a million dollars, it smells of salt and sea while managing to convey cool and modern. Its salvage, vintage salvage. And it translates into sophisticated home décor. 58 x 20 x 200cm
