DESCRIPTION

Sterling Silver Model T-Ford by Comyns, intricately assembled from 78 separate components and 6,000 parts, featuring functional moving details, hidden gold-gilt tools and a mirrored wooden display plinth.

The Comyns Sterling Silver Model T-Ford is a remarkable tribute to the engineering and design of the original automobile, combining intricate craftsmanship with impressive mechanical detail. Weighing approximately 4.7 kg, the model comprises 78 separate components and 6,000 parts, assembled using miniature nuts, screws, washers and bolts in the manner of the original vehicle.

Its functional features bring the miniature automobile to life: the steering wheel turns, the bonnet lifts, the doors open, the windshield tilts, the handbrake moves and the wheels spin. Beneath the rear seat lies a concealed compartment containing an assortment of miniature tools lavishly gilded in 24K gold, including a screwdriver, wrench, air pump and spanner. The front seat cushion lifts to reveal the petrol tank nestled beneath it.

Mounted on a wooden plinth with a highly reflective surface, the model allows the intricate underside of the vehicle to be admired alongside its exterior. A striking display piece for collectors and automotive enthusiasts, this creation celebrates the precision, ingenuity and artistry of traditional silversmithing.

Comyns’ heritage spans decorative silverware, elaborate centrepieces and interpretations of historic silversmithing. Its archive of more than 35,000 moulds, tools, patterns and drawings preserves generations of craftsmanship and the evolving artistry of silver.
