Robert Belcher Antiques

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
This exceptional ship in a bottle is a three mast sailing ship is set in a seascape diorama. It has been built in a pinched (indentation) Scottish whisky bottle, and it is remarkably well detailed.
The diorama depicts the ship racing through choppy seas, with a full display of sails capturing the power of the wind.
The most talented artist, James McGee, has titled the diorama “The Sunray”.
The modelling is one of the best examples I have seen. The ship is incredibly accurate with superb scale and wonderful detail to the masts, rigging and sails. The deck is wonderfully detailed with cabins, hatches and gallery rails.
The quality of the painting matches the build, making this wonderful diorama a miniature work of art.
Many interesting bottles are charming but quite naïve. This is a fine, rare example built to a very high standard.
English, circa 1930
Height 12cm x width 20cm x depth 12cm
