A very nice, well made open face 19th
century diorama of a three masted ship under full sail. It's
quite impressive and will surely command attention in your home
space. The case is canted and dovetailed which you don't see
often suggesting it was likely made by a very
talented shipwright. In person you'll also appreciate the two
relief carved stars and meandering rope border which enhances
the upper skirt. Dimensions: 33 x 27. There are two very small
losses in the sky immediately above the bowsprit, but overall
excellent. Inventory number 25-576.
