Description from the seller
Sovereign of the Seas – Large and Highly Detailed Model Ship – about 102 cm
This impressive model of the Sovereign of the Seas (circa 1637) is a true showpiece for any maritime collector. With a length of over 100 cm and an exceptionally high level of detail, it ranks among the more exclusive models of this iconic 17th-century warship.
This model is extraordinary in its size, quality, and detailing. An item of this build quality is rarely offered. The finish, ornaments, and rigging are clearly the work of an advanced builder who performs the craft very professionally.
The model is based on the historical Sovereign of the Seas, the extremely richly decorated flagship of the English fleet. The real ship, built in 1637, was known as one of the most expensive and luxurious warships ever built.
Due to its size and fragility, the item must be collected in Weert, Netherlands.
