Description from the seller

This antique mid-20th century ship model, made of painted iron, is a piece of character and presence that evokes the elegance of the great ships of yesteryear. Its sturdy structure and artisanal finish reveal careful craftsmanship, with details that capture the spirit of classic navigation: fabric sails in ivory tones, meticulously braided rigging, and a bow that advances with nobility.

The hull, painted in dark red and black tones, provides visual depth and highlights the vessel's volume, while decorative elements such as crow's nests, the bowsprit, and the deck structures add realism and charm. Mounted on a discreet base, this model is not only decorative but also a collectible piece that conveys history and craftsmanship.

Ideal for interiors with a maritime spirit, vintage spaces, or collections of nautical objects, this piece blends sturdiness, aesthetics, and nostalgia. Its patina and materials make it a testament to mid-20th-century decorative design, perfect for those who value authenticity and character in every detail.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
