Director’s Choice – The Silver Nef
This week’s Director’s choice focuses on a wonderful table ornament that historically dates back to the 13th century. The 19th century example illustrated above is modelled as a fantastical Armada galleon, with an eagle figurehead, the sides chased with scenes of nautical mythology and the deck with three towering masts. The vessel with numerous figures engaging in seafaring activities and the whole ship resting on four wheels.
