Haddonstone - Soane Caryatid Statue

These classical figures were originally created by Coade & Sealy in 1812 and famously used to adorn the Bank of England as well as Soane's own house in Lincoln's Inn Fields. Caryatid is the Maiden of Karyai, a town in Ancient Greece.

This would have been one of the last designs created during John Sealy's lifetime as he died in 1813. A pair of these female figures stand on top of the projecting stone façade of Soane's house in Lincoln's Inn Fields. The original Coade caryatid design was based on ancient Greek sculptures at the Erechtheion temple on the Acropolis in Athens, where the caryatids support an entablature. Coase modified the design to create a magnificent free-standing figure.
