Silver and Wood Model of HMS Victory by H Wylie
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
A silver and wood model of HMS Victory by H Wylie, showing ‘Victory’ in her first commission 1780, constructed from ships’ timbers by the artist Harold Wyllie (1880-1973), fully rigged with silver sails over an African oak and ebony hull with detailed decks, blue and gilt gunwales, the upper gun ports open with guns, on a cast bronze waterline base set in a carved wooden plinth, inscribed with battle honours, and within a glass case. Together with two letters of provenance from Harold Wyllie, one on HMS Implacable headed notepaper, the other on Alloway Place, Ayr headed paper, dated 1937 and 1945 respectively.
Footnote: Harold Wyllie was the eldest son of the noted marine artist William Wyllie (1851-1931). Following his father’s interests, Harold became a significant artist in his own right, concentrating on the developments of the sailing ship in Royal Naval history. He became an expert in marine archaeology and was appointed to restore HMS Victory to her Trafalgar condition. His letters state that he was given the timbers from HMS Victory by Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock (1862-1914) who had commissioned him to build another model of the Victory. This model was commissioned by a Mr Adam Wood...
