Original plans and projects for the redevelopment of Hursley Park: 1902 - 1904
Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR
This set of model elements accompanied by plans constitutes part of the project to redevelop the Hursley Park mansion, also called ， commissioned by the Coopers family who acquired it in 1902. The project is entrusted to the architect Scottish Alexander Marshall Mackenzie (1848-1933).
Originally built in the early 1720s, Hursley House was purchased in 1902 by Sir George Cooper and his wife Mary Emma Smith. Their desire to transform the place into an 18th century palace is perfectly illustrated by the purchase, to decorate their ballroom, of 18th century Beauvais tapestries. The decor was to highlight the French art collections of the Hursley Park mansion. The model elements that we present perfectly embody an eclectic taste for the arts of the 18th century, and in particular the ornamentation which simultaneously summons all the styles up to that of Louis XIV. The model, representing the decorations, allows you to see all the opulence of the interior of Hursley House. Large openings hosting tapestries, highlighted by richly decorated woodwork, frame large doors or mirrors displaying large garlands of flowers.
The main model presents an interior design project for the “Grand Salon”. Another part of the models is dedicated to the representation of a bedroom of Mrs. Gould, on cardboard made by Tochon-Lepage & Cie.
The model of the Grand Salon, probably an abandoned project of the Drawing Room which was actually completed, presents a sumptuous decoration in a Regency style. Rectangular in shape, the two longest walls of the room in turn present a decor decorated with tapestries and a series of three windows accompanied by a large mirror. The two smaller walls facing each other have on one side a fireplace topped...

Set of 12 Christmas Tree Ornaments Vintage Irish Linen Quilted Handbag Handmade
Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland
Set of 12 limited edition artisan Irish linen vintage quilted handbag Ornaments by Katie Larmour
This is a luxury box set of artisan made decorative ornaments created with authentic Irish Linen, exclusive to 1stdibs.

These novelty miniatures are a unique and quirky gift, or a treat to oneself, particularly suitable for the holiday season, all year round occasions, celebrations and home decor.

Antique and Vintage Models and Miniatures
There’s a place in every room for antique and vintage models and miniatures to fit in as small pieces of decor with character. Given their diversity of design, they are well suited to fit any style of space. From boats and spaceships to animals and race cars, there is a model for every taste.
Among the earliest known uses of miniatures are models found in Egypt dating back to 3,000 B.C. They were placed in pyramids as part of religious ceremonies. Elsewhere in the ancient world, small-scale architectural models were used in burial rituals. Since then, people have made miniaturized models for a variety of purposes.
Around the turn of the last century, toy companies created sought-after miniatures like trains. In the 1930s, airplane model kits took off in popularity. Later, Pop artists helped turn these kid treasures into a higher art form, such as Andy Warhol’s 1983 Toy Paintings.
Many people now use miniatures to decorate. Miniatures and models can be a playful accent, especially in areas of leisure, like a living room, salon or bedroom. Some collect miniatures to show off a range of favorite passions, while others focus on one type of model to add sophistication to their home.
Models can depict animals, people or places — as they do for an interactive project called Gulliver’s Gate in New York — and can contribute to the curation of a space or express a personality. Connoisseurs can find folk art and historical miniatures from every era. They have been created in classic and modern designs ranging from kitsch collectibles to old-world oddities.
Explore the collection of models and miniatures on 1stDibs today to build your collection and bring whimsical joy to your home.
