John Cheere Lead Garden Figure
About the Item
Wonderful English 18th century lead garden figure.
This statue depicts a jovial musician with his instrument. Resting on a shaped pedestal base.
This charming figure comes from the workshop of John Cheere, which was established at Hyde Park Corner in 1738.
As the fashion for French-style gardens swept through Europe in the 18th Century, the likes of Cheere seized the initiative to create statuary in lead - which was easier and more cost-effective to produce than marble, and more suitable for the English climate.
The use of lead for garden ornament spread widely as its qualities became apparent.
This figure is beautifully patinated. He will have a brilliant presence in any garden or parkland.

'Mickey Flush' by John Paul Fauves
Located in Gloucestershire, GB
"Mickey Flush 2016" by John Paul Fauves.
John Paul Fauves (b. 1980) is a contemporary Costa Rican Artist who lives and works in San Jose.
Heavily influenced by the Fauvist movement of the early 20th century - John Paul seeks to eternally question and challenge viewers. His themes deal with all aspects of the self: temptation, addiction, and redemption being prominent throughout his works.
John Paul Fauves formulated much of his technique and subject matter under the guidance of Joaquin Rodriguez Del Paso throughout the 90’s and early 2000’s - and then spent fifteen years developing his signature fusing of pop culture icons with sinister and ever changing fauvist elements. “A Loss of Innocence” - a theme conceived in 2015 was introduced to the NYC art scene with a solo show at Guy Hepner...
