Regular Price: $450.00
Clearance Price: $275.00
Your Savings: $175
The Twin Towers of Wembley have dominated the Wembley skyline for more than seven decades. This “venue of legends” has become synonymous with football (soccer) worldwide. It has been the Home of Football Associations cup finals from 1923 and was the venue for England’s triumph in the 1966 World Cup final. The stadium was the stage upon which the game’s great names played over a 77-year period. Of all stadiums where football is played in the world the greatest of them all is Wembley, the spiritual home of the beautiful game. Built between the first and second world wars the huge stadium used pre-stressed concrete technology and was built in record time.
Timothy Richards’ architectural models and bookends are unique and are at the forefront of this genre of work. Central to the theme is that of architectural truth. Only traditional materials are used – the body of each model being made in plaster with additional detail in etched brass, lead and sometimes stained glass and cooper. All designs are well researched using a combination of original plans and detailed photographs.

Hoover Building - Model by Timothy Richards
Item # M775
Regular Price: $800.00
Clearance Price: $650.00
Your Savings: $150
This building, which is situated on the main Oxford Road leading into London, was built for Hoover, the manufacturer of vacuum cleaners. It is built in the Art Deco style, the central doorway and portico exemplifying the energy and excitement of the jazz age. The sophisticated style was imported directly from America and became very fashionable. It is more usual to see Deco architecture in relation to cinemas, dance halls and places of entertainment and many such examples survive but this industrial building is a rarity. The Hoover building has been restored by the giant food chain Tesco and this model was commissioned by Tesco plc. The model has blue side glass panels that light the inner space when positioned correctly. Further glass behind the main screen allows back light to flood the vault when the model is turned. Lead lettering is pinned to the top lintel allowing fingers of shadow to move across the upper part of the model. The size of this model makes it suitable as a centrepiece. This model benefits from lighting directed either from behind or the side.
