About the Item
An antique fragment of a statuary marble sculpture, sourced from the estate of the late David Cornwell, best known as the author John le Carré.
Dating to circa 1840, this striking Italian Neoclassical sculpture evokes evocative hand-carved elements in a fragmentary form.
From the chiseled base to the toes of its feet, this piece is an elegant segment of history made for any period home looking to appreciate 19th century history.
Provenance
This impressive sculpture was once part of the estate of British author David Cornwell, best known as John le Carré, famous for his espionage novels, many of which were adapted for film and TV, such as A Perfect Spy.
The novels focused on people’s lives in the corrupt setting of the Cold War era and beyond. His books are known for being the first to raise respect for the spy genre. His first big novel The Spy Who Came in from the Cold debuted in 1963.
When David died at the age of 89, he left a large part of his archive of personal papers, letters and manuscripts to the Bodleian library in Oxford.

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.
