Grotesque Goblin Corbel – Sir John Soane's Museum
£15.00
Product description from their website:
Inspired by the collection of Grotesques filling the Monk's Parlour in the crypt area of the Sir John Soane Museum. It was with mixed feelings that Soane watched a rising public fashion for the Gothic style. He designed this playfully sombre space, the Monk's Parlour to satirise this style.
Taken from the medieval carvings found upon the misericords and supporters within the choir stalls of Exeter Cathedral. This carving is of a goblin, similar in appearance to that of a gargoyle but carved from wood and found indoors. This reproduction carving stands proud when hung upon a wall and makes a most attractive and interesting focal point.
Oakapple Designs Ltd are the only company in the UK with permission to take moulds from original medieval carvings from within the Cathedrals of Britain and to then reproduce them for sale. These reproductions are cast from a resin composite and then stained to give the product all the fine detail, feel and authenticity of the original carving.
