French Sailor
s Silk and Woolwork of Sailors Working on the Masts of a Ship
Located in Downingtown, PA
French Sailor's Silk & Wool of Sailors Working the Masts of a French Battleship.
19th Century
Océan-class ships of the line were a series of 118-gun three-decker ships of the line of the French Navy, designed by engineer Jacques-Noël Sané. Fifteen were completed from 1788 on, with the last one entering service in 1854.
The picture is an unusual combination of silk and wool. The image is a wonderful, clear depiction of sailors on board a large French battleship. There are sailors on deck but most are manning the masts and rigging. The ship has a large Mermaid figurehead...

Early 20th Century Folk Art Votive Ship Model
Located in London, GB
Early 20th century Folk Art Votive Ship Model
An early 20th century Folk Art votive ship model. Scratch built using wood and metal. It sits firmly on a bespoke display stand. We believe this example to be French in origin due to it having red, white, and blue beads wrapped around the base of each mast pole. A votive ship, sometimes called a church ship, is a ship model displayed in a church. As a rule, votive ships are constructed and given as gifts to the church by seamen and ship builders.
Dimensions in inches: H 12 x D 17 x W 6
Origin: France
circa: Early 20th century
Condition: Aged
Completely solid in structure and form, aged surface as shown with a deep natural patina across all areas. The ship is secured to the base. With some loss and obvious age, this item is still very charming.
