Medallion Relief Cut Ships
Wall Hanging Displays
Two of the Medallion Series ship designs are relief cut wall hangings of a 13th Century Mediterranean Merchantmen and a 14th Century North Sea Merchantmen. These displays are one-half side view profiles of oak ship hulls that are trimmed out in purpleheart, padauk, walnut and/or mahogany. Masts, etc., and rigging are made from hardwood dowels and brass rods. The ship models are contained within ready-to-hang solid oak frames measuring 15-1/2" tall, by 15-/2" wide, by 2-1/2" deep. As with all Medallion Series ships, no more than 20 units of the 13th and 14th Century Merchantment wall hanging ship models will be made by the artist. Each wall hanging unit, of each design, may slightly vary from one to the next by the use of different types of wood and/or by variations in sail configurations. Each ship comes with one polished brass title plate that notes the type of ship represented, the date (year) the model was made, and the artist's name. The backside of each frame will also be signed and numbered by the artist.
Table/Shelf Displays
There are six different types of Medallion Series ships now designed and being built by the artist for display on table tops and shelves: a 13th Century Ship of the Cinque Ports, a 13th Century Mediterranean Merchantmen, a 14th Century Mediterranean Merchantmen, a 15th Century Carrack, a 3rd Century Roman Merchantmen, and a 16th Century Galleon. Further ship designs may include 17th and 18th Century ships. Medallion Series ship model hulls are made of oak and trimmed out in purpleheart, paduak, walnut, dubongo, and/or mahogany. Masts, etc., and rigging are made from hardwood dowels and brass rods. BEGINNING IN 2008, ALL MEDALLION SHIPS WILL BE MADE WITH FULLY BILLOWED, ANTIQUED (HEAT TREATED) COPPER SAILS. No more than 20 of each type of design will ever be made, and no model of any design will be exactly the same as others. Each ship model design type may slightly vary from one to the next by the use of different types and amounts of hardwood trim, and by mast/yardarm sizes. Each ship model comes with one polished brass title plate that notes the type of ship represented, the date (year) the model was made, and the artist's name. The underside of each model base will also be signed and numbered by the artist. These models vary in size depending upon design type. They are approximately 14 to 28 inches long; by 14 to 31 inches tall; by up to 11 inches wide. The types of Medallion Series ships available can be found under the Available Art section of this website.
