Pair Of Stoneware Lions With A Cast-iron Patina
Pair of stoneware lions with a cast-iron patina – Manufacture Oustau & Cie, Tarbes – 19th century
Decorative pair of stoneware lions with a patina imitating cast iron, bearing the mark of the famous Manufacture Oustau & Cie in Tarbes.
Depicted as a pair, the two lions strike a powerful and expressive pose, each resting one of its front paws on a sphere.
The vigorous rendering of the manes, the precision of the modeling, and the quality of the expressions attest to remarkable skill in animal sculpture.
Their deep, dark brown patina, imitating cast iron, lends them a monumental presence and a particularly decorative character.
A beautiful creation by the Oustau workshop, renowned for its architectural and ornamental stoneware pieces.
