Model ship - Sovereign of the Seas (museum model) - Rare...

Sovereign of the Seas – Large and Very Highly Detailed Model Ship – about 110 cm This impressive model of the Sovereign of the Seas (circa 1637) is a true showpiece for every maritime collector. With a length of more than 110 cm and an exceptionally high level of detail, it ranks among the most exclusive models of this iconic 17th-century warship. This model is exceptional in this size, quality, and detailing. A specimen of this build quality is rarely offered. The finish, ornaments, and rigging are clearly the work of an advanced builder who practices the craft very professionally. To complete this masterpiece, the builder invested 1,475 man-hours, something you don’t see with modern model builders anymore. This is more than half a year of full-time work, and fortunately you can see that in this museum-worthy model. Due to its size and fragility, the item must be picked up in Weert, Netherlands.

Estimate:£1,918.87
