Description: | This decorative lamp was made in the 1960s specially for P.D. Christie, who was Director of the Swan Hunter shipyard. The glass shard shows the god Neptune being pulled along in a chariot by horses with fishtails, accompanied by female figures. The design refers to the Neptune Shipyard which was founded by J. Wigham Richardson. In 1903 the Neptune Shipyard merged with C.S. Swan and Hunter to build the Mauretania. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
