The original model of this replica is just one of twenty in Soane's collection of models. They are amongst the most beautiful objects in the collections of Sir John Soane’s Museum and are plaster model reconstructions of antique, classical buildings and monuments showing them in their ‘…pristine condition, just as they left the hands of the architect, on the day when the magistrates performed the dedication ceremony consecrating them to the tutelary divinities of Attica’, as one contemporary writer described them. A unique collection, they were constructed by the French model-maker François Fouquet (1787-1870), probably sometime between 1801 and 1834.
Beautifully crafted by master-model maker, Timothy Richards, in his Bath studio, and an exact replica of the original model by Francois Fouquet, complete with hand-blown glass dome (not shown).

Beautifully crafted by Timothy Richards, these bookends are available either as a matching pair of the Corinthian or Ionic order or as a mixed pair. Soane used both orders extensively in his practice but favoured the Corinthian, saying: ‘Art cannot go beyond the Corinthian order … correct proportions and of the greatest variety, its members are enriched with ornaments of the most exquisite fancy and chaste selection’ (
Night & Day Plaques from Revival Arts of Bath. These attractive wall plaques are made from Gypsum plaster, which is a fine silicate and gives the finished pieces a very tactile quality as well as showing off the detail.
This plaster model of the iconic K2 telephone box can be bought on its own or as a pair to use as of bookends. The iconic red telephone box is an example of how Soane’s influence can be seen all around us today.
