A Pair of Victorian Fine Half Hull Models of the Margaret Mitchell

A Pair of Victorian Fine Half Hull Models of the Margaret Mitchell and Robina Mitchell, both Ships Three Masted Wooden Clippers Built by Archibald McMillan and Son on the Clyde. These fine models, with the names of the vessels at the bottom left, are large-scale half hulls, with the profiles of the ships unusually made from alternating strips of mahogany and satinwood. Each vessel has three masts, and the models are mounted on mahogany backboards. The use of such premium materials makes clear that these presentation models were made on a “no expense spared” basis.

Estimate:$16,548.07
