Lost wax casting, possibly unique.

Richard Garbe (1876-1957) was a British-born sculptor who worked in bronze, marble, wood, and ivory. Prior to World War One his work was architectural in design and ornamental in finish, with examples of his work adorning buildings in London and Cardiff. Like his contemporaries in the New Sculpture movement, Garbe saw an opportunity to extend his work into the domestic market where the middle class were enjoying a regeneration in the Arts, which also resulted in a number of his works being exhibited at the Royal Academy. Garbe held a desire to demonstrate the necessity for an intimate connection between his sculpture and the setting in which it was displayed, with his decorative output being likened to that of his peer, George Frampton. His sculptures are on display in London at the Tate, and Victoria and Albert Museum.
