Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online. You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner. All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company. Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Description
A remarkable and exceptionally detailed folk art ship in a bottle diorama, constructed within an unusually large three-pint promotional spirit bottle. The scene depicts an English four masted sailing ship at anchor in a picturesque Continental coastal harbour, set against a dramatically steep hillside populated by an extraordinary array of more than twenty-five individually modelled buildings. These range from substantial, grander structures to modest cottages, interspersed with trees to create a wonderfully intricate and atmospheric harbour town. The composition continues into the neck of the bottle, where a charming lighthouse and several further cottages are depicted, including a foreground cottage with its own enclosed and fenced garden. A flight of carefully detailed steps descends from the neck towards the sea, winding between rocky outcrops and adding further depth and character to this extraordinary miniature landscape. The ship is mounted on its original ebonised wooden display stand, which complements and enhances the presentation of this highly unusual and visually impressive piece. The interior landscape and vessel are entirely handmade from wood, paper and plaster, painstakingly modelled, assembled and hand-painted through the restricted neck of the bottle. The complexity and sheer scale of the composition make this an especially impressive example of the ship in a bottle maker's art. An outstanding and unusually elaborate example of English maritime folk art, undoubtedly one of the finest and most complex ship in a bottle dioramas of its type. English, circa 1930. Dimensions: 17 cm high (including stand) x 51 cm wide x 14 cm deep.
