Limestone Garden Figure of Standing Neptune or Poseidon, Denmark circa 1930–50

Offered by: Modern Antiquarian

Description
This Danish 1930s-1950s limestone figure of Neptune has a commanding presence defined by its weathered surface, softened contours, and natural patina from outdoor exposure. The sculpture captures the sea god in a classical stance that suits gardens, courtyards, or fountains. Limestone figures of this period were carved to withstand the elements while offering refined decorative detail. Neptune has appeared in European garden design since the Renaissance, symbolizing control over the natural world and the power of water. Danish examples from the mid twentieth century often blended neoclassical influence with regional craftsmanship. Wear consistent with age and use. 18"w x 13"d x 50.5"h
