Pair Of Florentine Lions In White Carrara Marble - Late 19th Century
A pair of Florentine lions in white Carrara marble from the late 19th century. This pair of pieces represents architectural elements carved in the shape of lion heads that were used as decorative finials, or as interior or exterior ornaments. They feature a thick carved mane and a serious expression. These sculptures are undoubtedly inspired by classical and neoclassical Italian art. The structure consists of a rectangular marble pillar carved from a single block, which ends precisely with a lion’s head. The slightly open mouths feature a hook-shaped piece, indicating their original use as terminal elements for railings or as closing elements in general.
