A beautifully detailed 19th-century plaster figural lamp depicting Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, and fertility, after the celebrated sculptor Humphrey Hopper (1767–1844). This antique neoclassical statue features Ceres gracefully draped in flowing classical robes, holding a symbolic sheaf of wheat. Originally designed as a figural oil lamp, this elegant piece exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and neoclassical design popular in the early 1800s.
The sculpture retains a charming antique patina with traces of old paint and wear consistent with age, adding to its authentic historical appeal. Ideal for collectors of antique plaster figures, neoclassical decorative arts, or 19th-century English sculpture, this piece would make a striking focal point in a traditional interior, gallery, or period home.
A rare opportunity to acquire a fine example of Humphrey Hopper-inspired statuary, blending mythological beauty and historic artistry.
