About the Item

Dating from the 1870s, this decorative antique corbel figure was once used to embellish a ceiling, perhaps of a prestigious Victorian banqueting hall. Due to its age, it is today more suited to interior decoration as an object of interest steeped in history for a display cabinet or live-in museum. It has a distinctly mock medieval look, depicting a moulded figure sat cross-legged wearing a Tudor style cap, tunic with large, embellished collar and what appears to be a paint palette or book in their left hand. There are various chips, losses and a distressed paint finish that tell the story of this charmingly decorative architectural antique. We are also selling a matching pair, sourced from the same location; please enquire for details.

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...
