Lot 251: A Cast Stone Garden Ornament of a Sleeping Cherub and Grapes
A cast stone garden ornament of a sleeping cherub and grapes, depicted in a classical revival style. The piece shows a winged putto or cherub reclining in a sleeping pose, nestled amongst a large, heavy cluster of oversized grapes and vine leaves. The construction is of reconstituted stone or concrete, featuring a coarse, textured surface typical of cast garden statuary. The casting shows well-defined details in the cherub’s curled hair, facial features, and the individual fruits of the vine. There are no visible maker’s marks, signatures, or permanent manufacturer labels on the exterior surfaces shown.
