Lions are known for their strength and confidence, and are often depicted as doorway sentinels. These impressive lions are crafted in a reclining position, exuding a sense of calm strength and majesty, painted\/finished in a white or off-white color, with flaking in parts. These lions reflect the neoclassical style championed by Canova, blending realistic animal forms with an idealized, almost statuesque dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lion sculptures show signs of weathering or age, with some discoloration, flaking and minor chips, particularly around the base and paws, hindquarters and tail area. This patina adds to their antique charm and suggests they may have been exposed to the elements, possibly as garden or architectural ornaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight 48cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth 115cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepth 30cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H48cm x W115cm x D30cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good, with some signs of use consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollection by appointment from The Hop Farm, Paddock Wood, Kent TN12 6PY.
