This 1920 maritime model boat is fashioned from polished silver-coloured metal and chrome with a plank-detailed hull, measuring 7 cm high, 33 cm wide, and 8.2 cm deep. The nautical display piece has a single mast, a rigid triangular sail, an engraved cabin deck, and a hull clad in strips of white metal fastened with rivets. The name Salama is visible on the bow alongside an inscription on the cabin roof recording a presentation to Capt. F Stanley Bardo in Zanzibar in 1922. The surface displays minor nicks consistent with age, while the clean metallic finish maintains a bright sheen. In a modern home, this decorative object suits placement on a mantelpiece within a coastal-themed room or study.

FAQs

Metal ship models gained popularity during the late 19th and mid-20th centuries as decorative maritime display pieces, presentation trophies, and desk ornaments. Often cast or constructed from silver plate, brass, or chrome, these items reflected naval prestige and the growing enthusiasm for yachting.

These decorative objects are predominantly constructed from brass, silver plate, stainless steel, or chrome-plated metal. Fabrication techniques include sheet metal shaping, soldering, riveting, and casting to replicate hull planking, rigging, and sails.

Authentic period examples often feature makers marks, hallmarks, or engraved presentation plaques on the base or deck. Quality indicator details include hand-riveted hull plates, fine soldering at join points, and natural age-related oxidisation or patina.

A polished metal yacht model serves as a striking focal point on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookshelf. It pairs effectively with natural timber textures, glass accent pieces, or minimalist coastal interior schemes.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to prevent build-up. For silver-plated or chrome surfaces, apply a specialized non-abrasive metal polish sparingly, avoiding delicate joins and engraved inscriptions.
