About the Item
A late 19th century glazed buff terracotta mask head of a putto or cherub by Lipscombe
Co, modelled after Francois Duquesnoy (1597-1643).
The expressive face of this antique sculpture certainly leaves an impression on its audience, with the potential to be displayed as a decorative piece inside a home or part of a collection of sculptures from the same period.
Made from glazed stoneware and over life-size, the cherub is modelled with an open mouth, curling hair and drapery to its neck, looking slightly to the righthand side.
Francois Dequesnoy (1597-1643)
Dequesnoy was a Flemish Roman sculptor whose work helped to counter the influence of the more extravagantly emotional art prevailing in the 17th century Rome.
In 1618, he travelled to Rome and for 10 years was engaged in the restoration of classical sculpture.
Lipscombe
Co.
Lipscombe
Co., also recognised under the name London Pottery, was founded in 1878 and ran by the Lipscombe family.
The company in fact specialised in the production of water filters, due to the impurities in water from taps etc at the time. The business was so successful, it expanded by building a pottery at Brampton. This was the largest near Chesterfield according to a newspaper clipping from District News in 1866. At this time, the owner was Frederick Limpscombe.
James Pearson purchased the pottery company in 1886 and connected the works by railway to his Oldfield operation.
By 1931, production ceased.

Antique Carved Sandstone Head from Cockermouth
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
Antique carved sandstone head dating back to 1800. This carefully crafted piece has certainly stood the test of time - at 200 years old the details of this distinguished gentlemen are still very much intact. He is a moustached man, with a Victorian look, giving a deep and direct stare.
Cockermouth
The head originates from the town of Cockermouth, which is located at the junction of the Derwent and Cocker rivers and considered the gateway to the western Lake District and the Solway Coast. The town is classified as an architectural gem with 105 listed buildings, and stone for older buildings was quarried locally. This sculpture is made from Lazonby Red Sandstone, which has a high Quartz content that gives it a distinct sparkle in the sunlight.
