Description from the seller

Pair of carved solid walnut lions, originating from an antique 19th-century piece of furniture, today reinterpretied as decorative sculptures or sturdy bookends.

The warm, dense wood enhances the strength of the carving: flowing manes, jaws slightly open, and a proud gaze give a surprisingly lifelike realism.
Each piece weighs about 4 kg, ensuring stability and a commanding presence.
Perfect as ornaments, bookends, or decorative elements beside an entrance or a bookshelf, they add a touch of classic grandeur.

Note the original insertion/attachment point still visible on the head, evidence of their original function.
The conditions are excellent, no damage or breakage.

Insured shipping.

Seller's Story

I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was. When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business. The key principles are quality and love towards the customer. Francesco Secondo
