Authentic Models
History of the Authentic Models Brand
Authentic Models is a brand offering unique items crafted with attention to every detail, related to travel and world exploration. What is its history? What types of products can be found in its assortment?
The Authentic Models brand was founded in 1968 by the Dutch entrepreneur and travel enthusiast, Harning Piebenga. His travels inspired him to create models of historical ships. Initially, they were produced as single pieces. Over time, they gained recognition from a wide range of customers, leading to the company's growth and the addition of new models—both sailing ships and motorboats, balloons, propellers, oars, maps, telescopes, globes, compasses, cars, and deck lamps. Eventually, the brand's assortment also expanded to include larger props, such as travel trunks, game tables, shelves, desks, and other office furniture.
