Large Vintage Weathered Stone 'Venus Italica' Garden Statue

An elegant, large-scale mid-to-late 20th-century reconstituted stone garden statue of Venus, standing at a substantial 46 inches tall. Beautifully cast after Antonio Canova’s famous neoclassical masterpiece 'Venus Italica', the sculpture captures the goddess of love in a graceful, modest pose as she emerges from her bath, binding a heavily draped wrap across her torso. This piece is a fantastic example of genuine architectural salvage, featuring an incredible, deeply established outdoor patina that only comes with decades of exposure to the elements. The surface is richly textured with natural stone pitting, dark moss variations, and striking rings of golden-orange lichen. Far superior to a modern, stark factory reproduction, this imposing statue brings immediate character, history, and classical proportion to a formal lawn, walled courtyard, or prominent garden alcove. * Material: Heavy Reconstituted / Composition Stone * Era: Mid-to-Late 20th Century (Circa 1970s–1980s) * Height: 46 inches (117 cm / Approx. 3ft 10in) * Condition: Excellent vintage structural condition with highly detailed, crisp molding.
