This is a fantastic piece of furniture which could well suit an Office Study Lounge or just about anywhere. It makes a top class bookshelf and will be a real focal point.

Gigs were invaluable when in port or moored outside. Referred to as rowboats by land-bound folk, a gig was easy to lower overboard, needed minimum crew, and was quick to dispatch. When stowed, it nested in the long boat or pilot boat secured in the centre of the main deck. The lapstrake (overlapping strips of wood) of this gig means it is not seaworthy, but they most certainly look like it! Clinker build, they add flair and atmosphere to any room, and display shelves to turn them into fun cabinets and bookcases.
