Description from the seller
Superb pair of two vintage marine display cases (shadow boxes), ideal for nautical decor, a curiosity cabinet, or a seaside ambiance.
These collectible pieces feature meticulous handcrafted work: a wide variety of traditional knots in cotton rope, carefully tied and identified by brass plaques engraved in French (Nœud de Capucin, Nœud Coulant, Nœud de Chaise, etc.).
Each tableau is enhanced at the center by an elegant relief model (including the famous 1869 three-masted Cutty Sark), accompanied by miniature maritime accessories such as a helm, a lifebuoy, and wooden pulleys.
The frames in precious wood are reinforced by superb corner fittings in gilt brass.
Materials: Wood, brass, cotton rope, glass
Language of inscriptions: French

Exact dimensions:
Large model: 51 cm (Width) × 41 cm (Height) × 3 cm (Depth)
Small model: 44 cm (Width) × 35 cm (Height) × 3 cm (Depth)
Ultra-secure, armored packaging prepared for shipment to protect the glass and the relief elements.
