to the Vallejo Gallery's on-line window into the world of Marine Art and
Maritime Artifacts.Since 1972, I have been searching the world over for
the best examples of marine art. We have established this portal to connect
with those who have yet to discover our gallery, and to offer a convenient
avenue for our friends to view selections from the gallery when they are
unable to visit in person. Just naming a few of the artists is enough to
establish the type and quality of the art we feature: William Bradford,
Robert Salmon, Eugene Boudin, Antonio Jacobsen & James E. Buttersworth
make a nice beginning to this list, now numbering more than three hundred
in our inventory. We employ the services of the finest painting conservationists
and frame gilders available to compliment these historic works.
Beyond the art, the gallery houses a wide array of the best quality nautical
artifacts and maritime instruments to be found, considered one of the
best ongoing collections available. Our selection of ship models numbers
more than 150 at any moment, from fine Dockyard Steam Yachts, Half-Block
Builders models, Sailor-built Antiques, to the finest contemporary examples.
We specialize in Napoleonic Prisoner-of-War Bone Ship Models and our artifact
collection from this era is of exceptional merit. Having such a comprehensive
inventory allows us to offer our clients a complete choice when looking
to acquire such things, and often have one-of-a-kind artifacts, such as
the Solid Silver Speaking Trumpet once the personal possession of J. Gordon
Bennett, Jr., or the nice selection of ship figureheads, such as the diminutive
yet finely carved American Lady in White. We are one of the very few purveyors
of the art of the whale men and scrimshandlers, and we have several sailor-made
woolwork pictures in the gallery today as well. We carry examples of nearly
all types of navigation instruments, from a 17TH Century backstaff to
20TH Century clock work beauties by Chelsea of Boston. The collection
is completed with an array of Campaign furniture, sea boxes, bronze and
iron cannon, swords, deep-sea diving equipment, maps, charts and just
about anything and everything else that relates to our maritime heritage.
Whatever your interest, if it relates to humanity's effort to travel
the boundless seas, and of the artistic endeavors to capture its primal
majesty, we wish to discuss your wants and finds the right artifact or
painting for you. Contact us at your convenience to discuss this, and
continue to check back here as our website will be updated frequently
with some of our most recent discoveries, and some special offers on items
we wish you to have.
