Description :

Vintage Cast Metal Ship Sculpture – Verdigris Finish

A striking mid-century decorative ship sculpture crafted in cast metal with an aged verdigris patina and subtle gilt highlights on the sails and base. The openwork design gives it a dimensional, almost silhouette-like appearance, making it a versatile display piece.

Details:

  • Material: Cast metal with verdigris finish and gilt accents

  • Design: Stylized tall ship with cutout sails, mounted on a textured base

  • Era: Mid-20th century (circa 1960s–1970s)

  • Size: Approx. 6–8" tall 

Style: Nautical, Mid-Century, Maritime Decor

Historical Note:
Verdigris-finished decorative metalwork was popular in the mid-20th century as a way to evoke the look of aged bronze or copper. Nautical themes like ships, anchors, and lighthouses were especially sought after during the post-war boom of the 1950s–70s, reflecting a fascination with seafaring history and adventurous design.
