Why You’ll Love It
A spectacular OOAK hand-painted ship model by Paul Saltarelli, created as a special gift for the original owner of this collection. Larger in scale than our other ship models yet still true 1:12 scale, it features beautifully detailed rigging, colorful signal flags, and commanding maritime presence, making it an exceptional statement piece. Signed on the underside, and dated 2015.
Perfect for a captain’s study, maritime library, gentleman’s office, harbor vignette, nautical room setting, or displayed as a dramatic centerpiece atop a desk, sideboard, or in a fabulous window.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
