Circa 1870

Artifacts made by British Lighthouse Keepers were marketed directly to the sailing captains and owners of the ships they aided. Fine inlaid woodwork is a telltale attribute of their learned craft, with parquetry and marquetry examples in existence. The Trinity House Box, for letter writing, sewing, and tea storage are very desired, as well as the uniquely stylized tables and ship models members of the service built.
