Dept. 56 Big Ben, Dickens' Village, Historical Landmark Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an absolutely beautiful piece! The entire tower lights up, it is one of the brightest pieces in the Dickens village collection. The clock is an actual real working clock- you can add a battery and set it to run. Since Big Ben is the main architectural landmark for the city of London, this piece gives instant recognition that the village you are creating is London in Victorian times. Being retired, it is going to become increasingly harder to find, so this is a piece that should be snapped up while there are still some available.
