Vintage 1987 Malcolm Cooper The George Inn Somerset | John Hine Ltd Hand Painted English Pub Cottage

A wonderfully detailed vintage architectural miniature of The George Inn in Somerset, designed by Malcolm Cooper and handmade and hand painted in the studios and workshops of John Hine Ltd. in Hampshire, Great Britain.

The model captures the character of a historic English inn with an expansive textured roof, multiple chimneys, timber-framed upper stories, stone lower walls, mullioned windows, a central arched passage and an enclosed courtyard. Subtle greenery and red floral accents add depth to the warm stone-and-timber palette. The underside retains its original blue felt and maker’s label identifying The George Inn, Somerset, Malcolm Cooper, the 1987 copyright date and John Hine Ltd. studio production. The handmade construction and extensive architectural detail make this a striking display piece for collectors of English cottages, historic pubs and British architectural miniatures.
