Circa 1900 English Recumbent Concrete Lion

About the Item

This 20th-century concrete lion sculpture features a majestic yet serene figure, it's head resting gently on its paws. Its weathered surface adds character, suggesting years of faithful presence in an outdoor setting. Ideal for garden paths, gateways, or nestled beneath foliage, it brings a sense of quiet strength and balance to any landscape. 8"w x 24.5"d x 11.5"h. Wear consistent with age and use. Inspired by the iconic Medici Lions of Florence, this design symbolizes restraint, mastery, and cosmic harmony. Popularized during the Grand Tour era and widely replicated in Georgian and Victorian estates, such sculptures became enduring emblems of taste and refinement. This piece continues that legacy, bridging classical tradition with a softer, more intimate charm suited to modern outdoor spaces.
