Lot 489: A 20th-century weathered cast stone garden sculpture of a putto

Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

This garden sculpture is produced from cast stone and depicts a putto in a classical standing pose. The figure is shown holding a cornucopia across its torso and is rendered in a neoclassical style typical of 20th-century British garden statuary. The sculpture stands on an integrated square base. There are no visible signatures, foundry marks, or edition numbers. The piece features a heavy, dark-grey weathered patina.


Condition report:

The sculpture shows significant surface erosion and loss of detail to the facial features and torso due to prolonged outdoor exposure. There is extensive lichen and moss growth, particularly concentrated on the lower portion and the integrated base. Minor surface chips are present, though the piece appears structurally sound with no apparent repairs or missing elements.
