Description

A fine English handmade yew wood model of an elegant 19th century sailing boat.

This most unusual English late 19th century scratch built folk art model is of a very pleasing and elegant 19th century sailing boat. It is made mainly from yew wood with some elements in a lighter timber. The hull is hand carved from a single piece and has planked detailing. The boat is fully rigged with hand stitched sales and a hinged rudder. It has good detail to the deck and interior. It is displayed on a matching fitted turned yew wood stand. This interesting and pleasing model has a rich colour and an age related patina and is in very good original condition. English, circa 1900
