Pair of French Terracotta Lions, 19th Century Stamped
$18,000per set
About
Spectacular opposing pair of late 19th-early 20th century French terracotta sculptures of life-size lions. Signed Mandeville: Bernier.
Both beautiful lions are roaring as they are inclined with their paws stretched on a floral crest. Both with vigilant expressions under their richly molded mane, resting on oval terracotta plinths. The striking naturalism of the faces, manes and muscular haunches is only enhanced by the warm ochre glaze covering the pieces.
Can be purposed both as an interior decorative sculpture or as outdoor garden statuary. These lions will elegantly guard your home and accent any room with a classical touch.
