Our love for rare and beautiful objects isn't limited to those of the horological variety! In addition to our perpetual treasure hunt for great watches, we cast a wider net into the world of vintage objects, a practice that, since our founding, has yielded a trove of finds we happily share during the holiday season each year.
From vintage clocks to pocket knives, lighters to diving instrumentation, old-world ashtrays to desk sculptures — these are the types of mementos that heavily tug on our nostalgic heart strings and further sate our impulse for preservation and storytelling.
Unfortunately we can't keep them all...
This large vintage desk sculpture is fashioned out of solid brass and measures approximately 7” x 2” x 10 1/2”. Likely crafted in the 1950s or 1960s, it features the simple and elegant silhouette of a sailboat with a curved jib and mainsail affixed to a mast that connects to a sturdy, polished brass hull. Everything about this sculpture speaks to us, from its pure simplicity and iconic design, suggesting friendly skies and broad horizons perfect for adventuring. We can't help but scoop up these elegant ornaments when we find them - they speak to our vintage-loving souls.
Makes a perfect gift for the sailing enthusiast or appreciator of fancy mid-century decor!
