An innovative take on the classic 1920s motorboat ventilator cover, this elegant bronze cast cover seamlessly encases an optional low-wattage lamp, offering a subtle downward lighting solution. The fixture is surface-mounted and comes in a choice of polished or weathered bronze finishes.
We use centuries-old techniques to create truly authentic, unprocessed lighting designs; some of which originate from East India Docks (London) in the 1880s where Davey Lighting was established. The process of sandcasting begins by preparing a mould; a sand mixture is packed around a ‘pattern’ and tamped down, binding the mixture together.
The pattern is subsequently removed, and molten metal is poured into the mould cavity. Once cool, the metal item is separated from the sand mixture. These castings are then machined, drilled, sanded and finished by sandblasting, weathering or polishing.
Davey & Co's lighting has graced many of history's best-known vessels and buildings, including the RMS Titanic and 1930s The Savoy Hotel.
