Add a striking piece of Mid-Century Modern history to your wall with this vintage 1970s nautical string art shadow box. This meticulously crafted piece features a beautiful three-masted sailing ship (schooner/clipper) constructed with tensioned fine white thread sails, a curved solid wood hull, and detailed brass tack accents.

• Backing: Clean back with original hanging wire attached and ready to mount. (Note: Please check the photos for full cosmetic details).
