Product Information

Once dispatched you will receive a notification and the item will then be delivered in the next 1-2 working days. We recommend re-using the packaging the item was sent in, if this is not possible you need to ensure the item will be well protected and kept dry in transit. I don’t have much information about the old kit other than the scale and that it was a model of a gondola of 1882, which had a little cabin for the passengers.

Once dispatched you will receive a notification and the item will then be delivered in the next 2-3 working days. However, the basic shape and style of the gondola have remained largely unchanged for hundreds of years. Our collections come in both pre-owned and brand new condition meaning you can find the right deal for you!After the elimination of the traditional felze—possibly in response to tourists complaining that it blocked the view—there survived for some decades a kind of vestigial summer awning, known as the "tendalin" (these can be seen on gondolas as late as the mid-1950s, in the film Summertime). The first written records of the gondola date back to the 14th century, but it is likely that they were in use for several centuries before that. Check out our extensive range of ziplines, shuttles, cabins, gondolas, piste bullies, snow cannons and much more below! The gondola is completely painted in black, a colour requested by a decree of the Magistrate of the Pomp (16th century) intended to limit the excessive luxury used by the noble and rich to adorn their own boats.

Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.A sumptuary law of Venice required that gondolas should be painted black, and they are customarily so painted now. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. This asymmetry causes the gondola to resist the tendency to turn toward the left at the forward stroke. Once you've earned a reward, it will remain in your rewards account until you're ready to redeem it.
