I was looking for something nautical and rustic which is how this appeared to me in the pic however it did not have the look I imagined it to have. With all due respect to the artist, I was quite disappointed..didnt appear bronze and rustic at all...more like welded metal...sorry!

I wanted a sailing ship replica for a shelf in my living room for some time.When I found this beauty at Overstock I knew my search was over. This is a magnificent piece, strong in structure and essence with a near flawless construction. The fact that it's hand made and not a piece off the assembly line makes this ship so much more valuable. Speaking of value I have not found anything close to the workmanship at any price making this a find I will cherish the rest of my life and I'm sure my children as well.
