{"product_id":"pompeii-model-a-city-frozen-in-time-52894","title":"Pompeii Model – \"A City Frozen in Time\" | 3D Architectural Scale Model | Ancient Rome Gift | History Lover Decor | Desk Art | Roman Ruins","description":"\u003cp\u003ePompeii doesn't ask you to imagine it. It simply takes you there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 79 CE, Vesuvius buried an entire Roman city mid-breath. Streets, forums, bathhouses, bakeries — all sealed under ash. No ruin, no rebuilding. Just a city, suspended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model puts that moment on your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted to architectural scale, the Pompeii 200mm Earth Tone Edition captures the urban density, street grid, and spatial logic of one of the most complete ancient cities ever uncovered. It is not a souvenir. It is a piece of place — a fragment of one of history's most extraordinary moments, rendered in sculptural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18 Hours. Two Hands. One City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is not manufactured. It is made — individually, to order, in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Pompeii takes approximately 16 hours to produce, followed by 2 hours of careful hand finishing. Structural edges are refined by hand. Surface detail is brought forward. The result is a piece that rewards close inspection — the kind of finish that stops people mid-sentence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery model ships with a custom engraved brass label — a small but deliberate detail that elevates the piece from print to artifact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: High-quality PLA — the same material used by architectural firms worldwide to produce precision scale models — hand-finished to a standard well beyond raw print output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 200mm x 200mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of a Kind — By Nature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the production process, no two models come out exactly the same. Tonal variation in colour and finish is inherent to how these pieces are made — and we consider that a feature, not a flaw. Your model will be slightly unique. Much like Pompeii itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight Is Part of the Design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first glance, the model may appear minimal. That's intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace it near a window — strong, natural indirect light — and step back. As light moves across the surface, the street grid emerges. The forum takes shape. The density of Roman urban life becomes visible in shadow and highlight. The architecture reveals itself gradually, exactly as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid cluttered shelves and harsh overhead lighting. Eye-level placement, a clean background, and room to breathe — that's all it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThinking of it as a gift?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pompeii model arrives secured in a crush-proof, foam-lined box. It's a considered gift for the history lover, the traveler who's walked those streets, or the person who simply appreciates beautiful, meaningful objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to Order. Made for Keeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach model is created individually after purchase — not pulled from a shelf. That means yours receives individual attention from print to finish, including a custom-engraved brass label at no extra cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly 3 available at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned and made in Canada. Ships in a protective box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plum Tree Printing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46417033429199,"sku":null,"price":205.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/4696\/2639\/files\/il_fullxfull.8141341930_hcx5_7471a22f-f919-467a-94e9-c40a31fb579c.jpg?v=1793457031","url":"https:\/\/plumtreeprinting.com\/products\/pompeii-model-a-city-frozen-in-time-52894","provider":"Plum Tree Printing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
