Description from the seller

Sovereign of the Seas - Sovrana dei mari, the famous English warship built in 1637, the most imposing and decorated of its time, commissioned by King Charles I of England, is a true masterpiece for a collector to embellish an exhibition or an important room. It was built not with model kits but by my father (made completely by hand) following drawings and taking hours and hours of work, as you can see from the precision of the details. Unfortunately, due to space constraints I must find a buyer who values the work (it has been kept with care while my father was present, including periodic cleaning of the sails; now, I’m not sure how to proceed). Despite all this, it is in excellent condition. It is a masterpiece of precision. WARNING: due to fragility, shipping is not performed; delivery is to my address (Italy).

Keywords: ship model, Sovereign of the Seas, model boat, warship, three masts, two masts, boat, sailors, collecting.
