A rare 19th century folk art diorama of two sailing vessels racing at sea.
Located in Central England, GB
This most attractive mid 19th century folk art cased diorama shows a view at sea with a large three mast English ship being chased in a racing situation by a smaller and faster single mast yacht. Both are passing by a lighthouse which is in the foreground.
This diorama has been beautifully handmade. The vessel, sails and lighthouse are all hand carved in wood and very nicely painted in bright colours as is the setting of the choppy sea which has most likely been formed in papier mâché.
The most appealing element of this piece is its small compact size which easily lends itself for display on a shelf, table or perhaps wall mounted.
The case is made from nailed pine boards which have been papered and painted black and finished with a glazed front set into putty.
The glass is original and period with lovely handmade imperfections.
This decorative diorama is in excellent original condition.
English, circa 1860
Height 16cm x width 52.5cm x depth 8.5cm max.
Thank you for looking at this rare and interesting 19th century diorama...
