Product Description

This Beautiful Saint-Esprit Ship Model "T149" Is Presented By Old Modern Handicrafts. This is a high quality FULLY ASSEMBLED "Holy Ghost", the 80-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, lead ship of her class. The Saint Esprit was offered by the Order of the Holy Spirit, and named in its honour. This is an "Exclusive Edition" where the model has a unique serial number etched into the hull, which allows us to identify production date, material used and all other production information of a model. Master craftsmen using historical photographs, drawings or original plans meticulously handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as: western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop. This beautiful Saint Esprit model features plank on frame, three decks, and three rows of ferocious cannons on each side of the hull. A unique bowsprit design that consists of metal statue and side railings coated in gold color. The front bowsprit and three large masts are connected securely using advanced rigging and lines painstakingly knotted and fastened by hand. Each yard has an attached hand-stitched unfurled sails made of fine linen. Metal anchors and a wooden rudder are visible on the front and rear of the ship. On the deck, there are metal stationed cannons, authentic hand-built lifeboats with ribs and planks, wooden windlass, wooden cabin, wooden bell tower, metal steering wheel, and many other spectacular ornaments. There is also an exquisite detailed admiral's quarter on the stern with beautiful handcrafted brass statues and ornaments. This model comes standard with a solid wood base and brass nameplate. It'll make a perfect gift for home or office decorator, boat enthusiast or passionate collector.
