Lead Scallop Shell, Cherub & Bird Birdbath Early 20th Century with Grotto Pedestal
An early 20th century English lead birdbath formed as a scallop shell supported by a seated cherub with a small bird, raised on an evocative grotto-style pedestal.
The classical shell and figure are set against a more naturalistic base, its irregular surface suggesting rock formations and water-worn textures drawn from the tradition of garden grotto work. The overall effect is both beautiful and quietly enchanting.
The lead has weathered to a soft pale grey with gentle variation across the surface, sitting comfortably against the textured base.
A balanced and decorative piece, well suited to a contemplative garden setting.
Weathered surfaces with age-related wear consistent with outdoor use.
Lead size alone 49 w x 39 w x 37 h
