The Griffin of Edward III belongs to the Queen’s Beasts, a set of ten heraldic statues made by James Woodford for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953. Canada accepted the originals in 1959, and they now stand in the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec. A replica set in Portland stone, made by Woodford in 1956, was donated to Kew and greets visitors near the main entrance of the Palm House.
Each piece is made to order and finished by hand in the Netherlands. Available in 11 sizes from 7 to 48 cm, in classic marble white, gold, bronze or a colour of your choice. Explore more pieces in our Europa collection.
