CoadePair of Seated Frankfurt Lion in 18th century Classical Style
About the Item
One of a selection of lions we make at Coade Studio.
This Coade Stone lion sejant, is one of a handed pair commissioned by an investment bank in Frankfurt, Germany to replace a missing pair. We were given antique photos of an indistinct nature to use as an aid for the composition. However, the inspiration for the form of the lion, in particular, the head, was taken from the lions of Trafalgar Square, London, which were created by the artist Sir Edwin Landseer in 1867.
Video shows the lions coming out of the kiln.

Coade
Established in 2000, Coade Studio specialises in creating exquisite sculpture in classical and contemporary style using a variety of materials, namely Coade, bronze, lead, plaster, resin and terracotta. Our team of highly skilled craftsmen produce portraiture, classical ornaments and monumental figures for discerning clients. Coade stone was created in the 18th century as a remarkable new building material and was used by the eminent architects of the day. The characteristics of the material, which is actually ceramic, makes it possible to produce sculpture with the finest of detail but also durable and resistant to harsh weather. When Stephen Pettifer finished his training in Sculpting, Stone Carving, Restoration and Conservation, he was surprised to find that Coade was no longer being used as a sculptural medium and that the method had been lost over time. He set out to develop the recipe and techniques of producing Coade to the same standard as was originally used in the 18th century. Today, Coade Studio takes on commissions of classical sculpture and contemporary pieces for modern country estates, as well as carrying out restoration of historic buildings in the UK.
