Late 19th Century Dutch Handcrafted Catboat Model with Original Stand
About the Item
An exceptional late 19th-century Dutch handcrafted model of a gaff-rigged catboat, retaining all original features including its cotton sail, painted wood hull, hand-tied rigging, and sculptural display stand. This full-hull model is finely detailed, reflecting the maritime traditions of the Netherlands with its broad beam, rounded hull, and tall single mast — characteristic of Dutch working boats used in inland and coastal waters.
The boat features its original painted surface in ochre and black, now beautifully aged with craquelure and patina. The canvas sail shows natural toning from age, and the model sits on a custom-curved wood base with painted turned supports — likely original and crafted specifically for this piece.
This model reflects the quality and spirit of 19th-century Dutch seafaring craftsmanship and makes a sculptural and historically rich statement in any maritime or decorative arts collection.
