BELOW IS A SMALL SAMPLING OF OTHER GREAT ANTIQUE NAUTICAL FURNITURE AND AUTHENTIC VINTAGE NAVAL ITEMS AVAILABLE AT THE PIRATE'S LAIR

Batten Down The Hatches Matey for a Typhoon of Nautical Home Furnishings and Authentic Nautical Furniture such as Antique Pirate Chests, Pirate Furniture, and Captains Sea Chests from re-finished circa 19th century trunks, and vintage WW2 Liberty Ship Wooden Hatch Covers re-finished into Nautical Coffee Tables, Ship's Master and Commander Cabin Nautical Desks, Nautical Kitchen and Dining Tables salvaged from the cargo holds of WW2 US Navy Merchant Marine Liberty Ship's are offered for sale at The Pirates Lair.

The Photo to the left shows nautical furniture found at The Pirate's Lair. A 6' Wooden Hatch Cover re-finished into a Nautical Desk that would befit the most discerning Executive, Maritime Master, or Navy Officer.

Also shown are 2 Captains Sea Chests or Pirate Chests circa 19th Century antique domed trunks "pirate furniture" restored in such a manner as not to lose their beauty yet make them fully functional for contemporary use as a filing cabinet able to store up to 200 hanging folders and store away staplers, tape dispensers, and other clutter normally found in an office. For the nautical minded person looking to produce the most authentic nautical theme for their waterfront home then The Pirate's Lair is the place as we have authentic vintage U.S. Navy Nautical Tableware and Nautical Dinnerware, antique 19th century Nautical Pirate Chests, Pirate Furniture, and vintage nautical desks, nautical tables and benches from WW2 Liberty Ship Hatch Covers! Call 540-659-6210







Why have a handsome home or business executive office with "hum-drum ugly utilitarian steel file cabinets" when you can be outfitted with these antique 150 year old Captains Sea Chests (Domed Sea Chests and Pirate Chests), as wonderful nautical home furnishing! For that matter why settle for a nice and probably very expensive yet run-of-the-mill typical office desk when you can now have a true Captain's Desk befitting a Ship's Master and Commander. What a conversation piece either at work or at home. Our nautical themed antique hope chests, china chests and silverware chests are the perfect complement to store your U.S. Navy Tableware and Dinnerware!

The nautical furniture offered at The Pirate's Lair is by far the most unique and distinctive you will find anywhere on or off the net. Our nautical home furnishings offer more than just a nautical decor, but a slice of our Maritime History, a sense of romance and global travel, as well as honoring the ships and sailors of days gone by and the dangers they faced sailing the high seas in time of war.

Here we have two 6' Wooden Hatch Cover "Nautical Coffee Tables" from re-stored WW2 Liberty Ship Cargo Hold Hatch Covers - a great nautical gift for that special sailor - heavy, naturally distressed wood grain from years of sea service! These nautical tables are rough, tough, with lots of character! They withstood many years at sea in the roughest of weather. There is nothing "gentle" about a 60 year old WW2 Hatch Cover! They are much like our beloved U.S. Navy seaman. So if it's a unique, authentic, and distinctive Nautical Home Decor you are seeking, then The Pirate's Lair is the place for you!

You won't find a more durable piece of antique nautical furniture to be had! It's not going to be knocked over or broken, it will withstand being played on, jumped and spilled on! And any scratch can easily be remedied thereby just giving your nautical table that much more character. Finally a piece of fine furniture that parents won't have to worry about the kids ruining it!

Each of these WW2 Victory Ship and Liberty Ship Hatch Covers are made of thick pine planks measuring 60"L x 29"W x 2.5"D weighing in at 80lbs before re-fitting them with a trestle. Each Hatch Cover is the same in design, yet unique and individualistic in character based upon the years it saw at sea, not too unlike a true sailor!

Note the beautiful grain of the wood and how the recessed handle is fitted over the scooped-out part of the plank. Perfect for spare change, stamps or other small items.






Above in detail is an all wood Nautical Domed Sea Chest with the lid open showing how the chest was refinished so as to hang file folders and store office desk accessories. That distinctive "Pirates of the Caribbean" decor and theme, but no movie reproductions here, only the real thing!

Note the beautiful brown patina that only 130 year old wood can achieve. Truly a work of art, one can only imagine how and where this Captains Sea Chest was used over the years, and who owned it. Now one can be yours, a legacy to be handed down from generation to generation!

To the very right is a close up of a Sea Chest, China Chest or Pirate Chest with green and black metal cladding with oak wood straps. Each and every Sea Chest is unique and no two are the same, probably similar to the journeys that they each have taken over a century and a half of use.

Here you can see the beautiful and elegant white-on-white damask 132" banquet size authentic WW2 U.S. Navy Nautical Tablecloth with matching Naval Nautical Napkins all in a Nautical design of 5 pointed stars and intertwined twisted Naval rope going the entire length!
