Beautiful pair of lions resting on a circular base.
They sit on their two hind legs, with their open mouths revealing their fangs.
Good state of conservation, wear and small losses.
French work from the 18th century.
Dimensions:
Height: 67 cm; Width: 42cm; depth: 34 cm
Our two lions facing each other were positioned on the pillars of a gate or staircase to welcome visitors.
This iconography inherited from the Roman Empire was very fashionable under the old regime in France.
