1993 David Winter The Engine House Village Piece. Measures about 4.25" in height, Excellent condition. Comes with box.
This 1993 "The Engine House" sculpture is a masterclass in the miniature architectural detail for which David Winter is world-renowned. Hand-cast in refined gypsum plaster and meticulously hand-painted in Great Britain, this piece captures the rugged, historic charm of a traditional English village. The sculpture features a striking asymmetrical silhouette, highlighted by a tall, slightly leaning chimney and intricate timber-framing that evokes a classic Tudor aesthetic. From the individual "stone" textures on the exterior to the delicate mossy greenery scaling the walls, every millimeter tells a story of rural British life.
As a piece designed by John Hine, this Engine House is a standout addition to any holiday village or historical display. Its excellent condition and inclusion of the original box make it a "collector catnip" find, preserving the sharp details of the sculpture as if it just left the studio in Surrey. Whether you are expanding a dedicated David Winter collection or seeking a single, high-character piece for a Dark Academia-inspired shelf, this miniature offers a tiny window into the storied architecture of the English countryside. It stands as a timeless example of the craftsmanship that fueled the great miniature cottage craze of the late 20th century.
