Italian sculptor (17th-18th century) - Pair of archaic lions.

Italian sculptor (17th-18th century) - Pair of archaic lions. 30 x 12 x h 17 cm each. Pair of carved walnut wood figures. The two lions, sculpted in the round, are depicted in a resting pose with their heads turned frontally. Each example bears a shaped block on its back decorated with foliate motifs. The expert carving effectively renders the mane and forelegs. The dark, uniform wooden surface shows an age-appropriate patina consistent with the dating. The small size and the conformation of the back suggest they were originally used as decorative elements applied to fine furniture. Condition report: Good condition. Patina of use. Signs of age consistent with the age. All shipments within the EU are free and professionally packed. This item is sold with a legally valid certificate of authenticity.
