RARE Vintage 20th Century brass paperweight luxury speedboat
$125
SHIPPING OFFERED
Offered for sale is this rare vintage 20th Century cast brass paperweight, most likely dating from the 1930’s to 1950’s. Despite research the maker is currently unknown - and another example of this type could not be found for comparison.
Cast in heavy brass, the stylised design captures a luxury speedboat of the 1920’s to 1950’s. Often called ‘Mahogany boats’, this would be the sort of pleasurecraft seen on Sydney Harbour, Lake Como in Switzerland or Great Lakes of the USA. Living ‘la dolce vita’! To add a sense of dynamism and movement, the artist has cleverly set the speedboat making a banked turn.
In very good original condition. Over time the brass has developed a deep patination, as expected from an antique/vintage item and not modern reproduction.
Measures 23cm (l) x 5.5cm (at widest) x 3cm (at highest) approximately.
Please check the photos as they form part of the item description.
Cash or direct deposit sale only. Can freight at buyers expense (must include insurance for damage or loss) or can personally deliver to Macedon Ranges, Melbourne, Geelong or Ballarat CBD’s for a fee. Where possible (or upon request) a physical inspection is available and always encouraged. Accurate as possible description at time of listing, however like any secondhand item is sold without guarantee or return so please ask any questions before purchase - as any sale is final.
