Magnificent diorama with a 4-masted sailing ship, followed by a small steamboat as a support vessel, and another small sailing boat. In wood, plaster, paper and metal sailing ship details, hand painted. Full-volume sailing ship, not in the classic "demi-coque", therefore more complex and precious. Late 19th century early 20th century, in a splendid wooden case, with a front display case, having carvings along the frame, with an upper cymatium, resting on four turned and carved legs.
