Description

English silver scale-model of a 16th century galleon (or neff.) This wonderfully executed piece is unusually made in England, rather than manufactured in Europe and then imported into England. This is a four-masted vessel, fully rigged, bristling with anchors and gun ports; the whole resting on a carved wooden stand. The craftsmanship is superb, even down to the fully articulated rudder and finely engraved lantern at the rear. Most individual/moveable pieces are hallmarked. Great size and very impressive; a really magnificent display!
