About the Item

Early 20th Century Folk Art Scratch Built Ship Without doubt, one of the nicest examples of an early 20th Century English folk art ship model named Victoria. Amazing detail and charm as shown in the photos provided. Sat on a paper and gesso base this model is made from brass metal, card, wood and cotton detail. All hand painted and with numerous wooden figures scattered across the ship. This item is aged perfectly and firmly in place, the paint has naturally crackled with a natural patina. Someone has truly spent a lot of time and love creating this well proportioned highly decorative piece of art, in our humble opinion. Obtained from a private collection earlier this month. Dimensions in inches: H 21” x W 33” x D 12” Age: 1920 - 1930 Origin: England Condition: Aged A well aged item with lots of wear and tear, it’s firmly supported by the base as shown. With lost detail and crackled old paint which has stood the test of time over the years. The brass metal hull windows are missing a few as shown, some of the detail has broken off, this item is not new so that’s what we would expect after a 80 to 100 years and the material it’s made from. We strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase. A direct message usually takes 24 hours to answer. For multiple years we have sold antique items globally, please expect our items to show relevant age and natural wear, Items only restored due to breaks and major loss, and we always stipulate this in our condition report.
