About the Item

An antique composition stone statue of a youth in neoclassical dress attributed to Austin and Seeley. This statue dates back to circa 1840 and at over 185 years old, features appealing natural weathering that can only be achieved by exposure to the elements over many years. It depicts a male youth leaning on a ledge with torso bear and neoclassical drapery around his waist. Finely cast and large in scale, this stone statue will make a handsome addition to any garden or interior, the natural weathering only adding to its unique appeal. Austin & Seeley In 1828, Felix Austin established his own independent stone works at New Road, London, manufacturing a range of statuary and artificial stone after purchasing the moulds of one of Eleanor Coade’s competitors. After much success, he partnered with John Seeley in 1840, becoming one of the leaders in the architectural and garden ornament industry. Austin and Seeley supplied sculptural garden items to many historical houses and gardens across the country including a commission from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert for the grounds of Osborne House, Isle of Wight. After Austin’s death in 1850, Seeley continued trading until the company ceased around 1870 following Seeley’s death. Austin and Seeley works were rarely stamped with makers marks.

Neoclassical Revival Cast Stone Venus Italica Statue, Circa 1900

Neoclassical Revival Cast Stone Venus Italica Statue, Circa 1900

Located in Baton Rouge, LA

English, early 20th century or late 19th century reproduction of the masterpiece Venus Italica, originally sculpted from marble circa 1802 by Antonio Canova to replace the more famous Venus sculpture seized by Napoleon. This example is a cast (reconstituted stone) work that graced a garden with her beauty. Note the dark patina from exposure to the elements that shrouds her bare shoulders while the gathered fabric she clings to her front is still mostly white–undrescoring her symbolism of love, fertility, and desire. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition and be sure to check our other listings for more antique garden elements.
