The painting is held by an intricate wooden frame with beautiful gold paint and black accents. I don't know the artist or when the piece could have been painted. Could this be an antique? Researching what I could gather from the internet, the Georg Stage was built of steel in Fredrikshavn in 1935 to replace the previous Georg Stage as a schoolship for the Danish merchant marine. She was rigged as a full-rigged ship carrying royals over single topgallant sails and double topsails, and was equipped with an auxiliary engine. The Georg Stage still serves her original purpose; the trainees stay aboard for five months learning seamanship and related subjects. She is the smallest sailing full-rigged ship in the world.
If anyone has any other information about this paintings value please feel free to comment. The painting was a gift from my dad and I am only selling it because my wife isn't fond of maritime art.
The vanity seems to have all original hardware and tiles that are all unbroken. It has a crack in the wood that the previous owner pointed out occurred when he had the piece in India, where he was also stationed. He said it happened because of the dryness. I would just like to know any infromation about it that I can obtain and also what the value may be, as I might be interested in selling it.
I don't have any photographs of this set. The box/case is made of wood, is approximately one and one-half inches thick, approximately four and one-half inches tall and five and one-half inches wide. It contains the complete set - rivets and "the things they screw into" that then went onto the rivet gun (I don't have the gun). The case is stamped/burned on the front as U.S. Navy Rivet Set (approximate wording, I'm not looking at it so can't give specific wording) and the inside upper lid contains the original chart of sizes, etc., in the box. This was my paternal grandmother's rivet set; she is now deceased so I can't ask her any details about it.
