Decorative painting Galley with two sailboats

Description

Dès le vii^e siècle av. J.-C., des vaisseaux de combat à voile et à rame sont utilisés par les Assyriens, les Perses et les Grecs. La trière (trois rangs de rameurs) développée à partir du pentécontère, devient dès le v^e siècle av.
J.-C. le vaisseau de combat le plus efficace. Durant l’époque hellénistique a lieu une course au gigantisme avec les quadrirèmes puis les quinquérèmes. Durant le règne d’Alexandre le Grand des catapultes sont installées sur certains navires.

This Colombia model boat is ideal for the entrance hall, corridor, or for display on a piece of furniture or desk.

This sailboat is hand-built according to a real design and a stripped-down scale.

The wood used is high quality natural wood;

• Mahogany, whose main characteristic is a pale pink to red wood,
  fragrant, long-lasting.

• Oak, a species prized for its beauty, hardness and
  durability, is used in carpentry and parquet flooring.

• Padauk is a wood with a characteristic bright red color, which
  quickly turns gray. It's a highly durable wood, which
  requires no preservative treatment, making it an ecological choice
  .
• Ash is characterized by its hardness and strength, but is also easy to work with and particularly elastic. These positive properties make it a noble wood.
