About the Item

A vibrantly painted antique Caen stone architectural model. Dating from the mid 19th century, this limestone model came from a French church destroyed during WWII. With its arched design and ornately carved columns, it is reminiscent of blind arcades found in historic ecclesiastical and gothic architecture. Detailed to the top with castellations, this antique architectural model has preserved exceptionally over the decades, offering a glimpse into French craftsmanship of times gone by. We are also selling another almost identical architectural limestone model.
