Statue, Leone da giardino - 60 cm - Stone, Composite, cement - 1900

Stunning garden statue from the early 1900s, in travertine stone rebuilt with cement, depicting a seated lion with elaborate details of the muzzle and mane, beautiful and pronounced patina of age, with traces of moss and lichen that give the piece a lived-in look, a unique feature highly valued by antique collectors. The sculpture is completely solid, i.e., it has no internal cavities, so its weight is considerable—no less than 47 kg—which requires special packaging. A gorgeous piece, increasingly rare and hard to find on the market in these excellent condition, i.e., intact with no missing parts, which makes it a item of great value.
