Very Sweet Smallish Model Steamship folk art alter 1980s-1990s

1980s-1990s

The board itself shows old white paint on front and back

I might guess European

but the linen has darkened and the needlework faded

but has plenty of years of use in it yet

Very Sweet Smallish Model Steamship folk art alter 1980s-1990sI don't know much about model ships, but I think know a pretty sweet one when I see it, and to my eye this is definitely that. It seemsthat is it made primarily of an early molded hard plastic, which has been hand painted, including shiny black on the sides and nice red and black striping on the stacks. A few little bits missing and a little paint loss here and there, but looks great and has a really nice folkiness about it. Sits flat and upright. 10
