AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique Spanish Silver/Plated Metal Galleon - Detailed Naval Jewelry/Ornamental Forgework
Exclusiva Carabela de Orfebrería - Spanish Galleon in Silver
Elegant naval replica of a Spanish galleon, crafted with great technical and artistic detail. This display piece stands out for its dynamism and the meticulous relief work on its hull and rigging.
Technical and Artistic Details:
Design: Classic representation of a 16th- to 17th-century vessel, with three masts, sails unfurled to the wind, and braided metallic thread rigging.
Hull: Features an aged finish (dark patina) that highlights the wood reliefs of the ship, the stern windows, and the vessel’s framework.
Sails: Made from metallic sheet with a polished shine that contrasts with the hull, mimicking the effect of wind.
Luxury Stand: The ship rests on a four-legged pedestal with Baroque-style scrolls, providing great stability and a regal presence.
Condition:
The piece is in very good vintage condition. The rigging (the metal cables) maintains tension and the structure shows no dents. The dark patina is original to the design to give depth to the engraving.
Weight: 528 grams
Due to the fragility of the masts and the metallic rigging, this item requires extreme care:
Immobilization: The ship will be wrapped in a triple layer of bubble wrap, ensuring there is no direct pressure on the masts.
Double Box: It will be shipped inside a reinforced box with packing material (foam or paper shavings) to prevent any movement.
Tip Protection: The ends of the masts and the bowsprit will be specially protected.
