Disappointed
I am disappointed in the size and also the weight. It doesn't stay lit either. Much less substantial than expected.
Captain Oil Lamp with 7" Globe
SKU:
410290458
$299.95
A sleek and contemporary profile distinguishes the medium-sized member of our bestselling Mariner family, the Captain Oil Lamp. Its pewter base is handspun on a lathe, then fitted with a burner and custom glass chimney, all by human hands in our Vermont workshop. The result is an utterly unique piece of lighting that is as beautiful as it is functional. It creates a stunning and intimate ambience in any room, indoors or outdoors, whether as a centerpiece for the dining room table or an accent on the mantlepiece.
Enjoy the light of an oil lamp while you sit on the porch after the evening sunset, read by the fire, or host an intimate gathering with loved ones. Our customers tell us that their lamps become the topic of conversation at many dinner parties with friends and family. A wonderful wedding gift that "lights the way" for newlyweds as they begin their lives together, it also makes a meaningful anniversary gift that honors many years of love and intimacy.
Watch how we handcraft every lamp we sell in the Discovery Channel segment How It's Made.

Worth the wait!
Sorry I despaired over the delayed delivery date, as my pair of the Captain Oil Lamps was well worth the wait. Instead of using for Christmas, I used them for my New Year's Day meal and they set a beautiful mood. The workmanship is outstanding, and the pieces fit together perfectly, unlike other oil lamps that are made in China. I couldn't be happier with these.

We bought the Captains light a few years ago and we thought it was very cool so I bought the bigger one for our anniversary. Very Very Cool!

Exquisite Quality
I visited your shop in Colonial Williamsburg. I was impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of your products. I purchased the oil lamp for my sister as a Christmas gift. It was as beautiful as I remembered it to be. I am hoping to receive one myself for a birthday gift. :)

We purchased a Captain oil Lamp a few years ago while you were still located at Quechee Gorge. We've loved it and decided it looked lonely. Now it has a mate and they are on our mantle over the fireplace. We are very pleased with our purchase and the quality goes without question.

Happy Holidays
Being married for 23 years, a special gift is difficult to imagine. In stores, everything looks the same. We receive hundreds of catalogs with overpriced items. Then there is Danforth. Each item is meticulously handcrafted. You witness the love in the peaceful glow of the pewter. Thank you for making our holiday so special, so delightful, so happy.

Perfect Size
The Captain is beautiful. We have five of them, one in each of the medium sized rooms. All but one of the five were flawless in manufacture. For one of them the upper part that screws into the oil reservoir base is noticeably off from being vertical. The items were carefully packaged and shipped, so I don't believe there was damage in shipment. Still, we will keep it. We love them.

very nice
don't intend to use this for light. Just beautiful to look at.
