Statement of Interest

A Group with Balmoral Castle, Chamois Deer Statue, Putto Fountain on Eastern Parterre, Shell Drinking Fountain in Sunken Garden and the Statue of Florentine Boar.

Partner statue of chamois deer at centre of basin on western parterre, also by Geiss. The date given here is given tentatively; the statue could be that shown faintly in a photograph of Queen Victoria at the porte cochère in 1896. The Royal Archive notes that in June 1929 stags, boar, chamois and roe deer sited to the west of the Castle were painted. Both are key features of the castle's immediate foreground.
