Antique Chinese Rare Luen Wo Solid Sterling Silver Junk Boat C.1900. Dispatched with Royal Mail Signed For® 2nd Class.Here is a fabulous antique c. 1900 solid Sterling silver Chinese junk boat by Luen Wo and featuring a mechanical fish at the top of a mast, three sails and a beautifully crafted sailor, stairs and a rare engraved rear to the boat. The junk boat stands on its original carved wooden stand. As can be seen, the detail is fantastic - the sides of the boat have a gorgeous de...sign all down the top of the sides and there is engraving above the rear of the boat, too. I love the textured finish of the sails and all the silver ropes are still attached. This junk boat also features a mechanical fish and rudder, both of which move around. As can be seen, the boat is signed on the rear of the main sail by Luen Wo. This stunning boat measures six inches from the tip of its highest mast to its base, five inches from the tip of its prow to the rudder and is two and three quarters of an inch wide, sail tip to sail tip. It weighs 112g including its stand. As can be seen, the tips of two masts are slightly bent and the boat is a little dirty on the rear of the sails and this can be cleaned off. I am happy to combine postage if you are purchasing more than one item.
