Pair of small Venetian Lions - H 25 cm - Marble of Istria - 20th century

Pair of Venetian Lions in Istrian marble, entirely carved and sculpted by hand; from a private collection in Venice. Usually placed on windowsills, these lions are hard to find; in fact, pieces like these were often destroyed or stolen. Great quality and excellent patina. The lions make perfect furnishing accessories and will for sure not go unnoticed. Small-sized, perfectly proportioned and not too heavy. Please note the accurate and precise details, the animals anatomy is absolutely accurate and pleasant. One-of-a-kind lot, exclusive and exquisite, original pair. These are works in authentic Istrian marble, not to be confused with others of poor quality in concrete grit or marble dust! Nothing is glued, it is a unique block of carved marble. Both in good overall condition and intact. In case of shipping, the items will be provided with proper packaging. Affordable, safe and tracked international shipping. Dimensions of each lion: - Height 25 cm - Depth: 12 cm - Width 15 cm Weight: 6 kg.
