Antique Early 20th Century Chinese Hand-Carved Wooden Boat Model on Stand. Antique Chinese hand-carved wooden boat model dating to the early 20th century. This sculptural vessel features elongated bow and stern forms with deeply carved geometric and wave motifs along the hull, showcasing traditional Chinese craftsmanship and folk art design.

Today, they are highly collectible among buyers of antique Asian art, hand-carved wood objects, and nautical decor. Dimensions: 15" W × 2.5" D × 6 H. Item Type: Antique / Vintage / Pre-Owned. Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear, surface patina, and minor imperfections consistent with hand carving and use over time. Collectors of Asian decorative arts, maritime models, and antique wooden carvings will appreciate the exceptional detail and historical significance of this rare dragon boat figurine.
