Ceramic Memorial Building – Beit Al Balad Jeddah – Rare

An antique ceramic piece representing the iconic Beit Al Balad building in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, now known as the Jeddah Municipal Museum. This handcrafted souvenir is made of carefully painted, glazed ceramic and features a green felt base. Dimensions: 3.5 inches high, 3.5 inches wide, 2.5 inches deep.

The upper section bears the Saudi Airlines logo in gold. The overall condition is good, with a small crack on the rear corner of the roof and some minor scratches on four of the window frames.

This piece dates back to the 1980s or earlier. The old house, known as Beit Al-Balad, was built in the early 20th century and served as the headquarters of the British mission in Jeddah from World War I until the 1930s, later becoming a municipal museum. A rare and unique piece for collectors of historical memorabilia.
