HERCULES AT REST
Old Heaven Art Mug

Even Hercules eventually put things down.

The labors can wait. So can the people who keep finding new ones for him. For a moment, strength has nothing to prove.

Our resting Hercules brings a formidable physique and a rare interval of peace to the breakfast table. You may admire the classical proportions. You may also recognize a man who would prefer to finish his coffee before being asked for anything else.

For the dependable one. The overextended one. The admirer whose interest in sculpture deserves a comfortable seat and a second cup.

Complete the encounter with our pink Hebe mug, or enjoy his company alone.

OLD HEAVEN
You’ve done enough. Sit down.

INSPIRED BY
The Farnese Hercules, a Roman marble of the early 3rd century AD signed by Glykon, after a lost bronze by Lysippos or his circle, now in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples. François Perrier etched it from behind as plate 4 of Segmenta nobilium signorum et statuarum (Rome, 1638). The hero leans on his club, the golden apples of the Hesperides held behind his back: the labors nearly done.
