Coade'Coade' Stone Model of a Classical Style (18th c) Seated Tiger
About the Item
Tiger or possibly a lioness, modelled after an 18th century original by 'Coade' Manufactory.
Shown seated, looking to sinster, on a modern rectangular base.
In Chinese mythology, the tiger represents the greatest of earthly power and protection over humans. It chases away three disasters, namely fire, thieves and ghosts. The ancient Chinese believed that tigers turned white after they lived for five centuries and that they could actually live for an entire millennium.
In the 18th century, classical art and architecture was influenced by the Greek and Roman cultures. In Greek mythology Dionysus (the god of wine and pleasure) is depicted mounted on a panther.
In the earliest of figurative Greek art, lionesses take centre stage, often flanked the Gorgon, symbolising power and strength.
We are not quite sure whether the Coade cat is a tiger, panther or a lioness?
Regardless of the exact classification, these dignified animals symbolise courage, strength and majesty.
Also available as a pair.
Price for a pair of tigers is £15,200.00 + VAT

Coade
Established in 2000, Coade Studio specialises in creating exquisite sculpture in classical and contemporary style using a variety of materials, namely Coade, bronze, lead, plaster, resin and terracotta. Our team of highly skilled craftsmen produce portraiture, classical ornaments and monumental figures for discerning clients. Coade stone was created in the 18th century as a remarkable new building material and was used by the eminent architects of the day. The characteristics of the material, which is actually ceramic, makes it possible to produce sculpture with the finest of detail but also durable and resistant to harsh weather. When Stephen Pettifer finished his training in Sculpting, Stone Carving, Restoration and Conservation, he was surprised to find that Coade was no longer being used as a sculptural medium and that the method had been lost over time. He set out to develop the recipe and techniques of producing Coade to the same standard as was originally used in the 18th century. Today, Coade Studio takes on commissions of classical sculpture and contemporary pieces for modern country estates, as well as carrying out restoration of historic buildings in the UK.
