Glass encased model ship

This beautiful scale model made in 1954 was purchased at auction in a large mahogany case. Although the case was suitable then, the new design of the client's offices required a different treatment. The ship was removed, cleaned and stored while a new more modern case was designed and made. This was a toughened UV jointed glass top case mounted onto a stainless steel supportive and underlit base. The ship itself sits on laminated glass and benefits from the soft underlighting while directional and dimmable narrow beam ceiling lighting illuminates the ship superstructure. The entire top section of the case revolves at a leisurely pace to allow full enjoyment of the model and acts as an important centre piece to the main reception area.
