Hans Augustin, “Skeppsgossefartyget Yarramas” — Nautical Serving Tray in Rattan & Glass (62 × 38 cm)

A rare and exceptional maritime artwork by Hans Augustin, presented in an oval rattan frame beneath glass. This large-scale piece features Skeppsgossefartyget Yarramas, the Swedish naval training vessel, captured with luminous clarity against a serene Baltic sky. The ship’s rigging, sails, and movement are rendered with remarkable sensitivity, giving the work the atmosphere of a ship portrait rather than a decorative motif.

The hand-painted scene is integrated into a beautifully crafted rattan surround, creating a singular object that blurs the line between fine art and functional design. Pieces of this scale and quality, especially signed examples depicting named Swedish vessels, rarely come to market.

A true collector’s piece for lovers of maritime history, naval tradition, and coastal interiors. Striking as wall art, displayed on an easel, or used ceremonially as a serving piece in a curated dining setting.
