Rattopennugo
Vintage, antique and curious things from all over the world.
Vessel - Italy - End of 1700s - Carved and lacquered wood.
Ancient extra large model of a vessel, all in carved wood and two-tone lacquered (green and ecru) on the hull.
End of around 1700, Italy, rough wooden support created in a later period.
Legend has it that, like other nautical artefacts that have come down to us, these models were created by sailors on board ships as a pastime to overcome the boredom during the crossing.
The price takes into account the conditions of this antiquity: the sails are missing, cracks and wear, but the vessel is not messed up with a low quality of restoration.
Rare, delicious antiquity.
