A marble statue of Venus Marina by Benjamin Edward Spence, dated 1866 the semi naked standing subject wearing a wreath of sea shells in her hair and flowing swags of satin, standing on a base carved with waves and a scallop shell 120cm (47in) Literature: A biographical dictionary of sculptors in Britain, 1660-1851 Edited Ingrid Roscoe Benjamin Edward Spence was born in Liverpool 1823 and trained at the Liverpool Academy as a stone carver. In 1844 he moved to Rome to work in Richard James Wyatt's studio where he developed a soft neo-classical style similar to that of Wyatt. He took over Wyatt's studio after his death in 1850. Most of Spence's work was sold directly from his studio although he did exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts six times. He died young in 1866. His work forms part of the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace. In 1993 the Musee d'Orsay, Paris purchased a piece; one of the few works of a British sculptor to find a place in the museum. The Venus Marina, also known as Amphitrite, is typical of Spence's style. The figure stands draped in flowing robes, her right arm raised with waves and shells at her feet. It is signed and dated B.E. SPENCE / FT ROMAE 1866. There are three other known versions of this sculpture. One dated 1865 was at Hereford Town Hall, another situated at Lytham St Anne's Town Hall and the third sold at Christie's 17 January 2006 Lot 253. This sculpture's provenance can be traced back to the 1950s and has been in a garden for over 60 years. It is possible that it is one of the two untraced Venus' sold at Christies' Spence Sale 4 June 1870.

It could be that Siebe purchased the handmade hammered shells and brasses from Denmark. * see page 74, vol 1, 'Diving Helmets and Equipment Through The Ages'.

However it can also be used for commercial diving. This particular helmet was made in 1992 for the previous owner of DESCO - Tom Fifield - and was on display in his office....Abalone helmets did not usually have communications as they were not part of the original drawings or specifications. Therefore this helmet is a factory modified example.' * see page 103, vol 1, 'Diving Helmets and Equipment Through The Ages'.
