Griffin catching Hare.

This is one of our unique and exclusive designs from our collection of hand crafted reproduction carvings which are taken directly from an original medieval Cathedral carving. We pride ourselves at Oakapple Designs as having permission to take moulds directly from the medieval carvings found upon the misericords and choir stalls from within the Cathedrals and Churches in the UK. Our moulds and production techniques capture and reproduce all the fine detail from the original carvings to produce a very high-quality piece with all the authenticity from the original carving.

Taken from the medieval carvings (1490 – 1495) from within the choir stalls of Ripon Cathedral. This magnificent and outstanding reproduction carving is taken from virtually a full Misericord. This piece is especially interesting and special in that it is believed to be one of the main inspirations for the White Rabbit from the story of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Lewis Carroll’s father was the Cannon of Ripon Cathedral and Lewis would have spent much time within the Cathedral studying and observing these wonderful medieval carvings. This piece like most at Ripon Cathedral is in perfect condition and this replica has captured all the detail of the craftsmen that carved this piece over 500 years ago. Comes with wall fixing and product label.

Size (H) 20cm x (W) 31cm. Weight is around 2.5kg

This is great opportunity to purchase a true piece of England’s Rich Cultural History.
