A Georgian Naval Chart Weight

18th century
Description

As the name suggests this Georgian mahogany naval chart weight was used like a paperweight for holding the ships charts in position. It is rectangular in shape, lead weighted with the original brass swan neck handle. It has a shield shaped cut out where perhaps the owners initials were to go. There is a good old repair to the veneer near the corner.

These are difficult pieces to find, but a great historical object.
