10.11.67 Two Pairs of Cherubs
to North-West of the
Grand Basin in
Melbourne Hall
Gardens (formerly
listed as 'Pair of
pedestals with fighting
cupids on north side
of garden, Melbourne
Hall')
GV I
Two pairs of cherubs. c1700 by Jan van Nost. Erected as part
of a French style garden, designed by Royal Gardeners to Queen
Anne, London and Wise, for Thomas Coke of Melbourne Hall. Stone
and lead. Each pair of cherubs stand on a panelled stone
pedestal with moulded base and cornice. To the western pair,
one cherub is snatching a bunch of lilies from the other and to
the eastern pair the cherubs are quarrelling. These form a
group with two pairs of cherubs on the opposite side of the
Basin and tell the tale of Castor and his brother Pollux
fighting over a bunch of flowers and their eventual
reconciliation. Included in the Derbyshire Historic Gardens
Register at Grade I. See item 6/63 for sources.
