Surely you’ll find the exact first fleet you’re seeking on 1stDibs — we’ve got a vast assortment for sale. In our selection of items, you can find modern examples as well as a contemporary version. Making the right choice when shopping for a first fleet may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 18th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century. On 1stDibs, the right first fleet is waiting for you and the choices span a range of colors that includes gray, black, brown and gold. Creating a first fleet has been a part of the legacy of many artists, but those crafted by John Bentham-Dinsdale, David Steen, Erté, David Klein and Owen Miller are consistently popular. These artworks were handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in paint, oil paint and paper. A large first fleet can be an attractive addition to some spaces, while smaller examples are available — approximately spanning 1.38 high and 1.5 wide — and may be better suited to a more modest living area.
