Bring a piece of New England's working waterfront into your home with this authentic 12-inch antique wooden lobster buoy featuring a striking blue and gold painted finish.

Once an essential tool for commercial lobstermen, buoys like this were hand-painted with distinctive color combinations and patterns that served as each fisherman's unique signature, allowing traps to be identified from a distance on the open water.

Over time, retired buoys became beloved symbols of coastal life. Throughout Maine and New England, they have long been displayed on weathered fences, fishing sheds, boathouses, and docks, where their faded paint and worn surfaces tell the story of countless days spent on the sea.

This buoy's naturally aged finish and honest wear celebrate its working past, making it a wonderful accent for a coastal cottage, lake house, or New England-inspired home.
