Description

The pedestal with the statue of Andromeda, dating from around 1700, was created by Iran van Nost. It is located in Melbourne Hall Gardens and was part of a French-style garden designed by the Royal Gardeners to Queen Anne, London and Wise, for Thomas Coke of Melbourne Hall. The structure features a panelled stone pedestal on a wide square plinth, supporting a life-size, half-naked lead figure of Andromeda. She is depicted leaning against the rock to which she is chained, with her right arm raised. This pedestal and statue are included in the Derbyshire Historic Gardens Register at Grade I.
