Due back in stock end of January 2018

Inspired by the collection of Grotesques filling the Monk's Parlour in the crypt area of the Sir John Soane Museum.  It was with mixed feelings that Soane watched a rising public fashion for the Gothic style.  He designed this playfully sombre space, the Monk's Parlour to satirise this style.  

Taken from the medieval carvings 1490 – 1495 from within the choir stalls of Ripon Cathedral. This magnificent and outstanding reproduction carving is known as The Ripon Demon, unlike most of the carving we have reproduced from within the Cathedral that are Misericord support carvings this gem of a find is located on the arm rests in between the Misericords. This Mythical creature is a type of Demon and its purpose is that of warding off evil and protecting the occupants within the Cathedral during the long medieval services.
