Description from the seller
Model steamboat De Poolster UM 651
20th century
Impressive and meticulously executed model of the steamboat De Poolster UM 651 , crafted from wood and finished in an understated grey-black colour scheme . This large model has a strong visual presence and convincingly reflects the character of a working steam vessel.
The ship is richly adorned with carefully applied details , including ropes, lifeboats, and fishing nets, which contribute to a realistic and handcrafted appearance. The understated finish emphasizes the functional character of the original ship and lends the model a serene, almost sculptural quality.
The model originates from the collection of the National Maritime Museum , which underscores its historical value and provenance. This museal provenance gives the object additional significance and clearly places it within a broader context of maritime heritage.
The steamboat stands on a matching wooden stand and comes with a transformer box . Both the ship and the stand are in good condition , commensurate with age and use.

Seller's Story
Brooklyn Antiques ”Waar authenticiteit, geschiedenis en karakter samenkomen”
Wie aan antiek denkt, denkt vaak aan stoffige vitrinekasten en zware meubels. Maar zodra het gesprek gaat over een vintage horloge of een oude Louis Vuitton-koffer, is de aandacht daar. Bij Brooklyn Antique draait het precies om dat gevoel het moment waarop geschiedenis ineens persoonlijk wordt.
Brooklyn Antiques is geen doorsnee winkel, maar een plek voor wie zoekt naar karakter, kwaliteit en historie. En voor wie begrijpt: sommige dingen kun je vandaag niet meer maken en al helemaal niet namaken.
