Antique Grand Tour Alabaster Statue of Diana di Gabii

About the Item

An antique Grand Tour alabaster statue of Diana di Gabbi, after the antique. Dating to circa 1890, this expertly hand-carved sculpture is in excellent original condition. The original statue of Diana di Gabii, traditionally attributed to the sculptor Praxiteles, has been on display in the Louvre since 1820. She is said to have been inspired by Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt. She is displayed in drapery, fastening a cloak on her right shoulder, and a tree trunk behind her right leg. Highly detailed and of a petite size, this sculpture would certainly look impressive on display in any grand, Neoclassical and Grand Tour style home.

  • Medieval English Alabaster Statue
    Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
    A medieval English alabaster statue, possibly dating as far back as the late 14th / early 15th century, mounted on one of our exclusive large display plinths. Well weathered over the centuries, this 600-year-old statue depicts a medieval cloaked figure, possibly a monk, offering a glimpse into English architecture and sculpture of the Middle Ages. This sculpture is possibly made from Nottingham alabaster. During the 14th and 15th centuries, Nottingham was the centre of alabaster carving and painting. Alabaster works were mostly made as small alabaster models with religious themes. During the 16th century Reformation, many alabaster carvings were destroyed under King Henry VIII's rule, making any surviving examples even more significant. Provenance From the collection of Peter Hone (b. 1941). A master plaster caster, he is an expert and experienced collector, building up an extraordinary, museum-worthy collection of items in his one-bedroom flat in London W11...
