Why You’ll Love It RESERVED
An extraordinary OOAK hand-painted oil painting by IGMA Artisan Paul Saltarelli (2015), after Montague Dawson’s celebrated “The Thermopylae Leaving Foochow.” Rich maritime detail, luminous water, and majestic tea clippers create a dramatic gallery-quality miniature artwork. This is a large gallery piece. The Captain doll is 6" tall for scale comparison.
Perfect for a captain’s study, maritime library, gentleman’s office, harbor vignette, ship captain’s quarters, or displayed as a statement piece above a mantel or grand room setting.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
