This exquisite vintage half-hull model, handcrafted from two-tone wood, represents the "Sloup Turballais," a traditional French fishing boat from 1923. Half-hull models like this were historically used by shipbuilders to plan and perfect the design of a vessel, focusing on the curvature and lines that define its performance in the water. The "Sloup Turballais" was known for its stability and efficiency along France's Atlantic coast, making it a favored choice among fishermen. Framed for display, this piece captures the art of model boat building and offers a glimpse into maritime history. Ideal for nautical-themed decor or as a collector's item, it brings the legacy of early 20th-century French craftsmanship into any setting.
