DARS695 - Important pair of composite stone lions dating back to the 20th century, depicted in a seated position with a heraldic setting, a symbol of strength, protection and prestige.
The sculptures have an accurate and naturalistic modeling: the flowing manes, rendered with a wealth of detail and plastic depth, frame expressive and proud faces. The front legs firmly resting on the squared bases give stability and impressiveness to the whole, while the composed posture accentuates its formal elegance.
The composite stone, a material widely used in the twentieth century for garden furniture and representative entrances, guarantees resistance to atmospheric agents and excellent decorative performance. The surface retains a pleasant patina of time with slight traces of wear consistent with age, which enhances its authenticity and charm.
Ideal for guarding a gate, a path, entrance columns or as scenographic elements in gardens and parks, these lions represent a solution of great visual impact, capable of giving character and solemnity to any architectural context.
