Early Competitive Sailing Presentation Box of Nautical Interest and Made by W.m.f.

This superb W.M.F. presentation cut glass and bronze box is of nautical interest. It is a presentation piece awarded by the prestigious N.R.V. which is the North German sailing association founded in 1868 who are competitive in important events and races including in recent time establishing an Olympic team in the year 2000.

This beautiful box is made by W.M.F. and bears their stamp on the hinge. The container is made from clear crystal and is decorated with a hand cut art deco design.

The lid is made from bronze and bears a wonderful view of an early competitive sailing yacht racing on an open sea with a shoreline with other yachts in the distance.

The box is hand engraved with the presentation N.R.V. dated 1920- 21 and the name of its recipient, ELBE. This was the first year, post-war that the event took place. A most interesting piece in excellent original condition. Circa 1920

Height 6cm x width 13.5cm x depth 11cm
