Object Description

A wonderful handmade silver (.833 purity) model of Christopher Columbus’ ship the ‘Santa Maria’ made in Porto.
The ship – which Columbus sailed to the new world in 1492 – is beautifully represented with fine filigree work and enamel. It is mounted on a dark green marble plinth.
This superb model is in excellent condition and has the sort of handwork which will, probably, never be repeated (due to the extreme cost).
Dimensions: height 22.5 cm, length 22 cm
