1987 David Winter Miners Row, The Midland Collections. Measures about 4.5" in height by about 7" wide. The lightposts come out. Excellent condition. Comes with box.
Part of the esteemed "Midlands Collection" released in 1987, "Miners Row" is one of David Winter’s most intricate and expansive village sculptures. Measuring 7 inches wide, this piece captures the rugged communal spirit of 19th-century British industrial life. The architecture features a stepped-row design typical of coal-mining communities, complete with towering chimneys, a charming stone bridge crossing a stream, and textured timber-frame accents. Hand-cast in refined gypsum plaster and meticulously hand-painted, the level of detail—down to the "cracked" stone paths and climbing ivy—is a hallmark of the Studios and Workshops of John Hine Ltd.
A unique feature of this specific model is the inclusion of two removable metal light posts, which add a rare touch of mixed-media realism to the stone-like sculpture. This piece is in excellent vintage condition and comes in its original protective box, making it a "must-have" for serious David Winter collectors or those looking to anchor a Dickensian holiday display with a significant architectural work. Its wide, horizontal profile makes it an ideal centerpiece for a fireplace mantel or a prominent shelf in a Dark Academia-inspired library.
This item is vintage, over 35 years old.
