A large and impressive late 19th-century scratch-built model of a ketch-rigged racing yacht, complete with its full complement of original canvas sails. Beautifully constructed, the hull is finely ribbed and planked in the carvel manner, with a planked deck and a lead keel set into the underside for stability.
The craftsmanship is notable, with individually pinned strakes, shaped bow and stern sections, and turned wooden masts with period rigging rings and fittings. The deck features a raised hatch and carefully detailed bulwarks, while the elegant sheer and sweeping bow suggest the lines of a fast Victorian racing yacht.
Structurally sound and retaining an excellent patina throughout, this is a superb decorative and maritime piece with real presence.
Circa 1890
