AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique Spanish Galleon in Silver/Metal Plate - Detailed Naval Silversmithing
Exclusive Silversmith Caravel - Spanish Galleon in Silver
Elegant naval reproduction 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 the hull and sails.
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 rigging.
Hull: Features an aged finish (dark patina) that highlights the wood relief, stern windows, and the ship’s structure.
Sails: Made from metallic sheet with a polished shine that contrasts with the hull, simulating the effect of wind.
Luxury Stand: The ship rests on a four-legged pedestal with Baroque-style, scrollwork design, giving it great stability and a regal presence.
Condition:
The piece is in very good vintage condition. The rigging (the metal cables) remains taut and the structure shows no dents. The dark patina is original to the design to add 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 that there is no direct pressure on the masts.
Double Box: It will be sent inside a reinforced box with filler material (polystyrene or paper shavings) to prevent any movement.
Tip Protection: The ends of the masts and the bowsprit will be specially protected.
