Grinling Gibbons is one of history’s most revered woodcarvers. He is known for his intricate, lifelike carvings, which transformed the world of decorative arts.

Beautiful pieces of Grinling Gibbons' art, ranging from his marvelous carvings to furniture that embodies Baroque elegance, are available to collectors and enthusiasts.

A Legacy of Unrivalled Craftsmanship
Grinling Gibbons (1648-1721) contributed greatly to the field of wood sculpture, being the greatest devotee of detailed work. Since his ability to give depth, movement, and expression to his carvings captured the attention of King Charles II, he continued to carve out a respectable living from prestigious commissions in royal residences, churches, and stately homes. Gibbons no later than the Baroque period is perhaps commonly recognized for works highlighting their exquisite flower designs, billowing drapery, and the dynamic nature of the movement.
From the very first commissions to his works for Hampton Court Palace and St. Paul’s Cathedral, his oeuvre defines the artistic landscape of 17th-century England. Around the world, museums and heritage sites continue to honor his mastery, preserving his works as benchmarks of artistic excellence.
