Silver-mounted papier maché, double decanter stand in the shape of a boat with two silver-mounted circular divisions for wine bottles or decanters. Made of red papier maché with silver rims and a flat black base, a silver strip inscribed with ships' names along each side of the boat with a small silver plaque bearing the monogram 'JF'. There is an inscribed oval silver plaque on the stern and another smaller maker's plaque inside the stern.
