This is truely a rare find from an Antiquing trip to France. This is a large scale model handcarved by an early Architect of the entrance and wall of a city/town to be built; or one that already exists. Models were made beforehand or copied from existing sites for reference. The location of this model remains a mystery, but the craftsmenship is superb. The walls on both side slide in and out and roof of entrance can be removed. We imagine the Architect designed it this way so changes could be made or for easy travel? This is a fascinating unqique model for the ultimate collector. The entire model is made from solid walnut and has a few blemishes; to be expected with an antique over 150 years old. Finish to walnut is original and has a lustrous Patina.
