About the Item
An impressive and expressive pair of 19th-century hand-carved lions, each depicted standing with one paw resting on a sphere—symbolizing dominion and power. The figures are finely modeled in the round, with expressive snarling faces, muscular haunches, and deeply carved manes. Resting on original rectangular gilt-trimmed plinths, these lions reflect the influence of Italian Renaissance models, particularly the Medici lions.
Circa 1830
Italian
Condition:
Very good antique condition with a rich, aged patina. Minor surface abrasions and small historical cracks consistent with age and wood movement. One sphere with faint restoration evidence; gilt edges worn naturally.
