Old Star Wood & Tin Pond Yacht Southport, England, circa 1950.
Built in Southport, England, in the twentieth century, this pond yacht named 'Old Star' is constructed in wood with tin elements, in the manner of period sailing models. Yachts of this kind were sailed on ornamental ponds and are now valued as decorative maritime pieces. The combination of a wooden hull with tin fittings is consistent with production models of the region, and the named hull adds documentary interest for collectors. The form carries the proportions of a working model, with a single mast and the lines of a sailing cutter. As a decorative object it suits a shelf, mantel, or stand in a study, library, or coastal setting. The piece introduces a clear maritime theme to a room and reads well grouped with books or other nautical objects, or displayed singly as a sculptural form on a side table.
