Ca’d’Oro ‘The House of Gold’ or Golden House represents one of the most beautiful palaces of the Grand Canal; the main waterway through the ancient city. As with all of the buildings the palace is built on a foundation of oak piles, clay and brick. This system still used today. The model is made of plaster, lead, brass and gold leaf with other additional materials. Highly detailed including additional watercolour work, highlighting the complex tile detail of the façade. The model stands about 14 inches high and 12 inches wide. The crown caps the façade and is cast in lead. The back wall of the water gate is pierced through with further tracery allowing light to travel through the turquoise hand made glass.
