About the Item

This 925 sterling silver ship model presents a detailed representation of the historic Santa Maria, crafted with exceptional precision and mounted on a polished wooden base. Designed as a decorative maritime sculpture, it highlights the silhouette of a 15th-century vessel through finely articulated rigging, sculpted sails, and a meticulously structured hull. The model’s presence is immediately striking. In person, the reflective silver surface captures and diffuses light across every curve of the ship, giving depth to the rigging lines and movement to the sails. The wooden base offers a warm contrast to the cool sheen of the silver, grounding the piece and enhancing its display value. A silvered plaque on the front identifies the model, reinforcing its collectible appeal. For collectors and design enthusiasts, what distinguishes this piece is the clarity of its craftsmanship—each sail, beam, and line is rendered with deliberate attention, making it as engaging up close as it is from a distance. This combination of silverwork and maritime form lends itself seamlessly to executive offices, curated libraries, or display cabinets focused on decorative arts. The sterling silver construction contributes both durability and long-term aesthetic integrity, while the model’s condition—well-preserved and fully intact—ensures it remains a standout collectible suitable for gifting or long-term display. It is a compelling sculptural object that bridges historical reference with refined decorative appeal.
