At 40cms tall, this bronze statue of the 15th Century Italian statesman Lorenzo De Medici is perfect for a tabletop, fireplace or shelf. It is based off of the original sculpture by Michaelangelo that sits on top of Medici’s own grave in Florence.
Lovingly rendered with a thoughtful expression and intricately detailed clothing (which had been a bugbear in human sculptures ever since the elaborate designs of Roman and Ancient Greek sculptors), this piece is sure to bring a touch of class to any room it resides in.

The goddess Nike was the Ancient Greek personification of victory
The goddess Nike was the Ancient Greek personification of victory (hence her name being repurposed for the popular clothing brand). Often seen in her chariot, she would reward the glorious in battle with glory, fame and laurel leaves.
Nike has been commemorated in this marble plaque, showing her chariot being pulled by two powerful horses while she is being attended to by two cherubic assistants.
Despite hailing from the 19th Century it has been sculpted in the style of an Ancient Greek frieze, with the goddess looking excited as she heads off to battle.
The most traditional design of this list, installing this plaque in your home will bring with it a real sense of artistry and history.

At 49 centimetres tall, this bronze of a knight crusader brings with it the same portability and chance to display as the bronze of Medici above - though as it is slightly larger it may require a more permanent place in the room!
With his sword sheathed, hands open and cross prominently on display, this statue brings with it messages of peace and acceptance, as was the view of the knight crusaders at the time of its construction in the 19th century.
