This refined silver miniature was crafted with exceptional skill by the renowned silver producer J. Postmus. The traditional sailing ship is very complete and vividly executed with bulging sails featuring a subtle texture, detailed rigging of braided silver wire, and two waving flags. On the stern deck stands a miniature helmsman firmly holding the tiller. Thanks to the semi-circular rocking base on the underside, the ship can elegantly sway back and forth.
Hallmarked with the legal sword mark for fineness identification. A beautiful, heavier quality piece for the serious collector of Dutch small silver and maritime antiques.
