AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique collapsible umbrella anchor (grapnel/cliff anchor) in galvanized iron - 20th Century
Fascinating and sturdy folding umbrella anchor (also known as grapnel anchor or cliff anchor), dating from the second half of the 20th century. This type of anchor is famous for its four-fold folding fluke mechanism, originally designed to optimize space aboard small boats, skiffs, dinghies, or kayaks.
The item is in good structural and mechanical condition: the opening and closing mechanism of the arms is perfectly functional. The surface shows a characteristic patina of time with hints of surface oxidation that enhance its authenticity and vintage charm, making it splendid for both nautical use and as a maritime-style decorative piece for seaside homes, bars, or gardens.
Technical details and dimensions:
• Type: Umbrella anchor / Folding grapnel
• Material: Cast iron / Hot-dip galvanized steel
• Dimensions (Open): 35 x 30 x 30 cm
• Dimensions (Closed): 35 x 9 x 9 cm
• Weight: 2 kg
• Condition: Good condition, used with normal signs of time and salt air. Solid and functioning mechanism.
