About the Item
20th Century Wooden Castle Turret Model with Interior Illumination
A finely crafted 20th-century wooden model of a castle turret, constructed in alternating bands of light and dark hardwoods, creating a striking striped effect. The cylindrical tower is detailed with a crenellated battlement at the top, beneath which are deeply carved arcaded arches, a small arched window, and a front entrance framed by a detailed archway surround. The top surface is inlaid with a compass rose design in contrasting woods, a testament to the artisan’s mastery of marquetry.
Electrified from within, the turret is fitted with concealed interior lighting, allowing the windows and doorway to glow when illuminated — enhancing both its architectural realism and decorative presence. Likely conceived as a decorative object or architectural model, the piece demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, uniting function and artistry in equal measure.

Royal Brighton Pavilion Matchstick Architectural Model by Bernard Martell
By Bernard Martell
Located in New York, NY
Made in the 1960s from over 40,000 matchsticks by Bernard Martell. The artist spent over 1700 hours meticulously reproducing the architectural splendor of the Brighton Royal Pavilion in a 1:100 scale model. It was first exhibited at Marlborough House and then for many years alongside the Pavilion, in the town of Brighton, England.
The Royal Pavilion was built as seaside palace for King George IV by the architect John Nash in the Anglo-Raj style, very much in vogue in the English Regency period with its domes, minarets and intricate embellishments, inspired by the architecture in Colonial India. The building with its lavishly decorated interiors was finally completed in 1823 and remains very much intact to this day due to ongoing important preservation work.
This unique architectural model is presented in a custom made glass case and mounted on a black lacquered Parsons...
