About this deal

The model of Big Ben walked down the road from TC to the Broadcast Centre when ‘Pres’ was expelled from the Corporation and sat proudly on display in the Red Bee boardroom alongside the remaining examples of mechanical models of the BBC 1 globe and a BBC 2 symbol. As the fulfilment of these items are handled by the supplier, please understand that this is beyond our control. Built in 1859, it is located on the River Thames in London and is known as the world-famous Gothic building. Standing tall at 22cm made out of extremely heavy die cast metal in a rustic finish, this Big Ben model will most definitely compliment your home and room decor. As one of London’s iconic buildings, Big Ben is part of the British Parliament building and the largest clock in the UK.

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London though today the name also refers to the clock and the clock tower.

My recollection of the big ‘2’, and the reversed-out globule of BBC-1 was that both were designed by John Aston. This could be used to complete a bar, restaurant, and it provides a great photo opportunity and adds to any display. London's Big Ben Glass Ornament Each Big Ben Glass Christmas ornament is hand-blown, hand-painted and hand crafted by skilled artisans. However, both were built as 12 x 9 electro-mechanical masterpieces by Murray Andrews to fit into ‘Noddy’.
