Sammy The Seahorse - DG2856

We've been out searching attractive seahorse products and this one stands proud on a wooden base at a good 20 cms in height. We have some real Sammy Seahorses here on the Dorset coast (spiny seahorses). They arrive at Studland in Spring to breed and then leave in the Autumn. So Sammy is Sammy the Studland Seahorse really, or he could be. Numbers of the real ones are down sadly and some believe this is due to their natural habitat being eroded by boat anchors. We have limited numbers of Sammy though and he looks great out of water and in your coastal home.

Sammy's base is made of wood and Sammy himself is textured covered shaped tin.

Wooden Ship's Wheel - DG7335

Heard the one about the pirate who walks in to a bar with a wooden ship's wheel attached to the front of his trousers? The barman says to the pirate..."What's the ship's wheel for?" and the pirate replies "I haven't got a clue but it's driving me nuts". Well we have now decided to sell these Wooden ship's wheels at Dorset Gifts just so that you can break the ice, crack the joke and not get a laugh too. These wooden ship's wheels are a substantial 62 centimetres in circumference and don't come polished like our others but with a natural rustic look.

Fleet Review Telescope - DG7166

The ultimate feature window piece for any home with a nautical setting. In the early 1900s grand clifftop and seaside homes would of course have been considered incomplete without an impressive brass and wooden telescope on the balcony to view the ships sailing past. You can still pick the antique ones up, but they have become very expensive collectors’ pieces. More often than not in the beachside homes you will perhaps occasionally see our reproductions which have been specially made by a former colonial manufacturer who still produces them for his home market. These Fleet Review telescopes are of course popular and sought after due to the elegant styling and the fact that this is a functional item, magnifying 25 times with an object lens of 45 mm. Focusing is by finger-tip twist control, from about 40 yeards to infinity. The sheesham wood tripod, which is similar in appearance and feel to teak, has solid brass fittings and is height adjustable on each leg to compensate for uneven surfaces. The brass barrel length is 1 metre and the tripod height adjustable from approximately 110 to 180 centimtres. Time to watch the ships sail past?

Set of Two Mini-tankards in Wooden Presentation Box - DG 15658

These mini-tankards in a box are a very popular nautical gift. These brass mini tankards are presented in a natural wooden box and should, in our opinion, only be filled with the Captain's spiced Navy rum! A maritime nautical feature for the office desk or home mantlepiece. These little tankards probably hold about 125 ml of fluids each.
