Impressive large-scale vintage handmade model of the French ocean liner Antilles, marked “ANTILLES” on the bow and “ANTILLES LE HAVRE” at the stern. The model features a long white hull, detailed wood-tone deck, lifeboats, railings, masts, rigging, funnel with red and black paint, deck structures, portholes, and hand-applied name plates. Constructed with a high level of decorative detail, this display ship has a striking presence and would make an excellent nautical, maritime, or travel-themed collectible. Condition shows age and handling wear throughout, including paint loss, scuffs, cracks, repairs, loose or delicate rigging, and some missing or imperfect small details, as shown. Interior construction is visible from above, suggesting a handmade or workshop-built model rather than a mass-produced toy. A wonderful decorative piece for a collector of ocean liners, French Line memorabilia, ship models, or nautical antiques. Approx. dimensions (in): 9.5 x 41.5 x 5.75.
