Description

This pair of cherubs, created around 1700 by Jan van Nost, is located to the north of the Statue of Mercury in Melbourne Hall Gardens. They were part of a French-style garden designed by the Royal Gardeners to Queen Anne, London and Wise, for Thomas Coke of Melbourne Hall. The cherubs are made of stone and lead, each standing on a plain pedestal with a moulded base and cornice. The western cherub is depicted ready to draw his bow, although the bow is now missing, while the eastern cherub is shown flying with a quiver on his back. This pair is included in the Derbyshire Historic Gardens Register at Grade I.
