- A wonderful collection of Cornish serpentine stone lighthouses, English circa 1950.
- There are 19 heavy stone models in total, each with their own unique design and all in original complete condition, rare to have all their tops intact.
- Each stone serpentine lighthouse has been polished to reveal its true colours via their unique bands and veins and stand on a rocky base. 
- The stone is unique to Cornwall, and in particular the foot of the ‘Lizard’, the most south-westernly point of England, which is why one or two in the collection carry the 'Lizard' mark.
- Price is for the entire collection and also includes a central serpentine dish seen in the photograph.

Cornish Serpentine is thought to have gained its name from a likeness to a serpent's skin, the colours are unique and to be admired.  While specimens had been collected for centuries, it was after a visit to Penzance by Queen Victoria & Prince Albert in 1846 that popularity grew, this Royal patronage of the industry led to a great popularisation of serpentine and these illustrious lighthouse models.

All items on the John Zoffa website are vintage antique pieces and by their very nature, imperfect. When you purchase a piece from us, you are buying something with character and more often than not years of use.  Before making your purchase please have an understanding that the pieces you are buying have had a life and ownership before your acquaintance. Therefore there will be elements of wear & tear or even damage that we believe add a quality, aesthetic and sheer presence that just can’t be replicated or indeed replaced.  We always invite you to view the item or alternatively ask any questions you may have before making the purchase.

Refunds will only be granted when an item has a significant misdescription or an area of damage, not noted by us, which is more than just natural ageing.  Returns must be made within 7 days of receipt of goods and received by us in the same condition as it left our premises.  The cost of return is not refundable and we strongly advise you look into the necessary insurance in order to avoid the chance of damage whilst under the responsibility of your chosen courier.

In the event your item is damaged during shipping and after leaving our premises we ask that you notify us immediately with photographs of the packaging, and of the item itself. The shipping company is ultimately responsible to reimburse you for any damage that occurs during delivery and we will work alongside you in order to resolve this should it occur.
