The staircase model of the early 19th century was one of my favorites. The staircase model was made out of porcelain busts, oak, inlaid Mahogany and ebony. This piece captured my attention because of the infrastructure and design of the stairs. The stairs looked very elegant. I also liked how rich colors were.

The staircase model of the late 19th century was also one of my favorites. The staircase model was made out of plained oak. The upper part of the staircase is self supportive and the railings are turned. I love the vintage look of the stairs. I also liked the how the stairs went into a different direction. The bottom stairs went towards the middle in the same direction and then the upper stairs went into the backwards direction.

This New York Birdhouse Model was a model that got my attention. The building was made out of iron and layed upon a wooden base. When I first saw this, I was surprised that it was a birdhouse. I liked this model because of how vintage looking it is. The appearance of the house was very strange and dark looking. It’s one of those houses that I wouldn’t want to go inside and see what’s in there, but the appearance of it makes it interesting.
