Sterling Silver Japanese Lucky Treasure Ship Model Takehiko Seki Art Sculpture

  

This is a beautiful art sculpture in sterling silver with gold plated embellishments by Takehiko Seki. Takehiko Seki was born in 1908, and in 1922 moved to Tokyo to became the apprentice of silversmith Tajima Katsuyuki. Seki perfected his art under master Kosaka Munehiro, and established himself as a bona fide silversmith in 1936. This piece is nicely mounted on a wooden base and it measures approximately 11.5" long, 7.25" deep, and 8.25 tall.

We have not attempted to clean or polish this piece, there are some areas of tarnish and there are some dark areas on the sail. It is in great condition for its age with no dents or damages aside from the tarnish, as you can see from the photos. International Buyers - Please Note.
