  • Life-Size Terracotta Erato Statue, 1 of 9 from the Apollo Inn, London
    Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
    Dating from 1898, this impressive life-size statue of Erato once decorated the façade of the Apollo Inn in Tottenham Court Road, London. Modelled by John Broad for Doulton and Co, this Erato statue stood alongside Apollo and the other 8 muses on the exterior of the Apollo Inn public house from 1898 until the building’s demolition in 1961. Located on the corner of Tottenham Court Road and Torrington Place, London’s Apollo Inn was designed by English architect Charles Fitzroy Doll (1850-1929). When the building was demolished in 1961 for an extension to the Heal’s furniture store – which remains on the site to this day – this statue of Erato along with Apollo and the other 8 Muses were removed. This life-size statue of Erato was sourced from a garden in Chiswick. Known as the Greek goddess of lyric poetry, she is seen as she is often depicted wearing a crown wreath and holding a lyre. Of the other 8 Greek Muses, the whereabouts of 4 is known. Euterpe is located in St George’s Gardens near Kings Cross railway station, presented to the borough by Ambrose Heal of Heal’s London. Clio was reputedly bought by architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner, who placed it in his garden in Hampstead. Thalia and Melpomene are both in the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia and appear alongside Apollo in John Davis’s book ‘Antique Garden Ornament...
