A commanding antique maritime shadow box diorama, featuring a four-masted clipper ship at full sail beneath a painted sky. Crafted with layered sails, hand-strung rigging, and three-dimensional relief details, this folk art tableau is housed in its original gilt gesso frame with charming age wear. Likely made between 1880 and 1910, possibly by a sailor or craftsman to commemorate a transatlantic voyage. A rare and evocative piece of nautical history.
DIMENSIONS: 21"H x 40.25"W x 5.25"D
CONDITION NOTES: Some loss to frame, caraquelure to paint and overall wear and patina commensurate with age.
