Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises two handcrafted wooden model boats intended for static display. The first model represents a traditional sailing vessel, possibly a fishing lugger, featuring a hull constructed from natural-finished wooden planks. It is rigged with a single mast supporting two off-white fabric sails, including a large lug sail and a smaller triangular jib. The interior deck is detailed with miniature black twine fishing nets and a red and white lifebuoy. The second model is a tugboat with a painted black hull and a red underside. The natural wood deck supports a white-painted wheelhouse with a red roof, a central black funnel, and two masts with intricate string rigging. This model is mounted on a fixed rectangular black-painted wooden display stand with brass-toned supports. Both items feature string rigging and small metal fittings. No manufacturer marks or signatures are visible on either piece.
