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. 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 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.
Weight: 4.8 kg - Dimensions: 7.5"w x 12.5"h x 5.5"d
