Description from the seller

Sovereign of the Seas – Large and Highly Detailed Model Ship – about 110 cm

This impressive model of the Sovereign of the Seas (circa 1637) is a true showpiece for any maritime collector. With a length of more than 110 cm and an exceptionally high level of detail, it belongs to the most exclusive models of this iconic 17th-century warship.

This model is exceptional in this size, quality and detail. A specimen of this build quality is rarely offered. The finish, ornaments and rigging are clearly the work of an advanced builder who conducts the craft very professionally. To complete this masterpiece, the builder invested 1,475 man-hours, something you no longer see with modern model builders. This is more than half a year of full-time work, and luckily you can see that reflected in this museum-worthy model.

Due to size and fragility, the item must be picked up in Weert – the Netherlands.
