About the Item

Imposing yet refined, this pair of mid-century French lion sculptures brings classical strength and architectural charm to any outdoor setting. Crafted in France circa 1950, each lion is hand-carved from solid stone and depicted in a seated position with front paws forward and heads gently turned outward, evoking a sense of noble vigilance. Their stylized, deeply carved manes lend sculptural drama and visual interest from every angle. Set on integral rectangular plinths, the lions are ideal for flanking a garden path, entry gate, or exterior stairwell. Decades of outdoor exposure have resulted in a beautifully weathered surface, with a rich antique patina enhanced by natural moss and lichen growth. The coloration varies from warm terracotta and sandy beige to muted greens and greys, contributing to their timeless, timeworn appeal. Weighing approximately 114 pounds each, the sculptures are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. A striking addition to any landscape, this classic pair embodies the enduring elegance of mid-century French garden design. 19" W x 11"D x 26"H
