Greyhound Terminal model in plaster by Chisel & Mouse
This model was exhibited twice in the museum shop of Caixaforum Madrid and Barcelona (2016), and it is sold well packed but without the original packaging. Perfect condition.
The old Greyhound Terminal was built as a terminal for Greyhound Bus Lines.
Greyhound cleverly adopted the beautiful Art Deco, streamlined shapes of the 1930s to suggest speed, style, and forward thinking.
The building was designed by William S. Arrasmith and completed in 1940.
Made of strong plaster that has a reassuring weight and smooth and cool feel. Window frame and railings are made of etched brass.
Handmade in Sussex, England.
