Antique Carved Stone Statue by Student of Hugh Casson

About the Item

This weathered antique abstract carved Portland stone statue was reputedly carved by a student of 20th century British architect and artist, Sir Hugh Casson. It depicts a two figures embracing in a stylised abstract position. Once part of a private collection, this carving is one of several that we are selling, believed to be made by students of Sir Hugh Casson. He was a Professor at the Royal College of Art between 1953 and 1975. He reputedly tasked his students with finding a piece of stone from a WW2 bomb-damaged building and creating a carving. This resulted in stone sculptures of various design that may well have formed an exhibition at the Royal College. Sir Hugh Casson Sir Hugh Casson (1910-1999) rose to fame in 1951 when he was appointed Director of Architecture for the Festival of Britain. It was for this that he received his knighthood, remaining in the public eye for the rest of his career. With his architectural firm, Casson designed many distinguished buildings including the Elephant House at London Zoo and the Arts Faculty at the University of Cambridge. In later years, he became known for his observant works of watercolour.
