About the Item
Carved red marble throne with two sphinxes.
Two mythological figures with the body of a lion and a female bust decorate the arms of the throne. Above each sphinx, a scroll visually connects the lower area with the backrest, decorated with small rock formations and a central mirror with vegetal elements. The seat shows a frieze of eggs. The work refers to ancient examples such as the throne of the priest of Bacchus in the Getty Museum, for example." ·

Pair of Marble Sphinx Exterior Entryway Statues
Located in New York, NY
This pair from from an estate in Greenwich, Connecticut, adds a touch of classical grandeur to your outdoor space. A sphinx is a mythological creature with a lion's body and a human head, an important image in Egyptian and Greek art and legend.
