Large Vintage French Scratch Built Ship

A stunning handmade and hand-painted large size model ship that was made in France circa the 1950s/60s. Carefully constructed from ply-wood to make a beautiful, neutral coloured toy, that in a contemporary setting makes an eye-catching, totally unique, decorative piece for an interior space. There is a little string at the top that you can pull to open the cabin.  The whole piece consists of tactile details consistent with a naive, scratch built item. This would make a wonderful addition to any interior, I love the idea of this in a costal holiday cottage, a wonderful nautical piece. 

Length: 91cm
Width: 18cm
Height: 18.5cm
Weight: 1.1kg

Vintage condition: a rustic piece, with original chippy paint, signs of age and imperfections and tactile details that are expected of a scratch built piece, this beautiful ship has heaps of character.
