The Queen's Doorway, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, leads from the Royal Apartments to the private Gardens of King William and Queen Mary. The initials WM (for William and Mary) are shown above the doorway on the central shield or "cartouche". This style of work is also to be found in North America on the early British houses, for example in Boston and Colonial Williamsburg. The bookend is marked on the side not only with the split temple logo but also with the HRP mark that is the logo of The Historic Royal Palaces group. Only a select group of artists and designers, who have been directly commissioned, are permitted to use this stamp. This is one of a series of fine Architectural models made by world-renowned artist, Timothy Richards. These models are made with plaster and other traditional construction materials including lead, acid-etched brass, glass, copper and gold leaf. Each model is individually hand-made in Timothy's studio and worskhop in Bath in England.
