About this work

It is extremely rare to find a dolphin binnacle of this quality. Instruments of this level were only placed on a few of the finest yachts and sailing ships, thus not many were made and not all have survived over time. The base is in the form of three fine period style dolphins, tails up, supporting the upper part of the binnacle including the compass bowl, and removable upper brass cover and burners.
