Oakwell Estate Marble Demeter Sculpture - Old
Product Description
Many local residents and the former owner of the Oakwell Estate worked tirelessly to save the property from being purchased under eminent domain and used to make sport fields for a local school district. Garden Accents was so lucky to have worked with Mr. Bennett to purchase some of the outdoor treasures before he moved from the property.
This beautiful marble Demeter goddess sculpture graced the property beside the long driveway to the main house. She is wonderfully aged and so very beautiful. In Greek mythology, Demeter is depicted wielding a golden blade or sickle used to harvest the first crops of wheat.
The Oakwell mansion is exceptional. It is representative of the Gilded Age when industrial giants competed in constructing opulent mansions and fantastic gardens on the Main Line and is filled with Mercer floor tiles. The landscaping of the Oakwell estate is filled with diverse, old, valued trees and shrubs and is surely worth preservation.
