Vintage Brass Arc de Triomphe Souvenir Model

Bring a piece of Parisian history to your desk or shelf with this charming vintage brass model of the Arc de Triomphe. A classic travel souvenir likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1970s), this miniature architectural replica captures the iconic silhouette of one of France's most famous monuments. It features detailed relief casting that mimics the triumphal arch's sculptures and friezes, with "ARC DE TRIOMPHE" embossed clearly on the front base and "PARIS" on the side.

Crafted from brass, the piece has developed an authentic, darkened patina in the recesses that highlights the architectural details. It is a solid, slightly weighted piece, making it functional as a small paperweight or simply as a nostalgic decorative accent for a bookshelf or travel collection.

We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description.
