Stock No.10438
A large and rare, English Rococo, finely carved Statuary Marble tablet of the infant Eros asleep under trees on a bank beside a river in an Elysian landscape set within scrolling borders. It may have once been the central feature on the frieze of a grand chimneypiece. The last image, rather blurred I'm afraid, shows a similar tablet that was from a chimneypiece in Blair Castle, in Pitlochry Scotland.
Carved by Thomas Carter, English, c.1755.
Listed Price: £9,400 (+VAT where applicable)
