HARVEST
Description
C. 1860's, New York, NY. Measurement: 62"W x 48"H.
This statuary mantel stands out for its exquisite quality stonework and, perhaps most surprising, its British allegorical references. A celebration of a bountiful harvest, the carvings evoke the Gilded Age of prosperity, anchored in humble origins. Both grapes and apples were important symbols during the Victorian era, representing friendship and an idealized, rural history of "Britishness" before the urban growth of industrialization. Cherubs remain a classic reference to love and fertility, while the guiding lion of the central keystone represents strength, authority, and a civic sense of patriotism. The HARVEST mantel displays a rarely-surpassed level of detail and craftsmanship in the ornamental carvings and convex, rope-like molding.
