This exceptional and rare diorama depicts a richly decorated ceremonial parade boat, complete with detailed figures dressed in colorful historical or fantasy attire. The scene evokes a theatrical spectacle, a historical procession, or a literary imagination, possibly inspired by the works of Jules Verne or classical opera.
The boat itself is beautifully crafted with an elaborate decorative finish. The figures, likely made of papier-mâché or cardboard, are hand-painted and arranged in a staged tableau on the deck. The wooden case in which the model is stored suggests it was a valuable exhibition piece, possibly used in museums, theatrical productions, or as part of a traveling collection.

The box has been retro-fitted with a LED strip lighting module operated by a remote control unit.
The item has been featured in the Belgian “Eénmaal Andermaal” television series with Jacques Vermeire and Axel Daeseleire.

Early 19th century scale model of a French Cathedral
Vroeg 19e eeuwse maquette van een in verval verkerende Franse kathedraal. Prachtig gesculpteerd met hoge mate van detail. Een absolute blikvanger in elk interieur of handelszaak.
De manier waarop de muren, het dak en alle elementen uitgevoerd zijn is werkelijk ongelofelijk gedetailleerd. In de klokkentoren zitten echte bronzen klokjes. De ramen zijn van glas. Binnenin kan met batterijen een extra verlichting aangeschakeld worden.
Deze maquette uit de vroeg 19e eeuw komt uit de privé collectie van Paul Degrande. Deze bekende Belgische antiquair verkocht recent zijn kasteel in Snellegem en tegelijk een groot deel van de collectie.
Ophalen geniet absoluut de voorkeur aangezien de fragiliteit van de maquette verzenden bemoeilijkt.
110 x 70 x 95 cm groot !!
