An excellent pair of mid 19th century French Caen stone architectural scaled models reputedly from a church destroyed in WWII. With their beautiful cream tone and crisp quality, these carved limestone fragments are reminiscent of blind arcades found in historic ecclesiastical and gothic architecture.
