Miniature art includes paintings, engravings, and sculptures; it has a long history that dates back to prehistory. The history of silver miniature ships is closely tied to the broader history of silverwork and craftsmanship. Silver has been a popular material for creating art and decorative objects throughout history due to its malleability, durability, and inherent beauty. Miniature ships made of silver have been crafted for various purposes, including as collectibles, gifts, and as symbols of maritime prowess.
