Staircase Model (France), mid–late 19th century
This is a staircase model. It is dated mid–late 19th century and we acquired it in 2007. Its medium is walnut, fir. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
With stairs that double back without apparent support, this model is further elaborated with undulating sides and Gothic-style arches. Possibly an acceptance piece, this example shows a high level of skill without necessarily being a full masterwork.
