Models of Buildings

Set of two French handcrafted matchwork models of buildings. An exemplary work of folk art, the attention to detail is exquisite, the wood aged to a beautiful, rich honey color. The first model is of the "Hotel de Ville" and includes a charming handwritten sign. The second model is of a more rustic, parochial structure. The set makes a delicate and intriguing conversation piece. 

France, circa 1940
