EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning scale model of an 80-gun Stuart Warship, depicting a vessel from Charles II's Navy around 1680, is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of the past. Measuring an impressive 53 inches in length, this meticulously crafted model was made of boxwood and walnut. The model, which was offered for sale in 1929 by J.M. Botibol of Hanway Street, London, is a remarkable historical artifact that transports us back in time. The Stuart Warship, with its 80 guns, was a formidable naval force during the late 17th century. This model captures the grandeur and power of the ship with its intricate details, from the ornate mastheads to the flags on the stern. However, it is important to note that the flags on the mastheads and stern are contemporary to 1929, rather than 1680, as they were likely added for the display of the model during the sale.

The model's long and rich history is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical artifacts for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The model's intricate details, from the gun ports to the ornate carvings, are a testament to the skill and dedication of the model maker. The use of boxwood and walnut adds to the model's beauty and authenticity, making it a valuable addition to any historical collection. In conclusion, this scale model of an 80-gun Stuart Warship is a remarkable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the grandeur and power of Charles II's Navy.
