Recumbent Concrete Lion with Sphere, France 1920s
About the Item
This French 20th-century concrete lion sculpture features a majestic yet serene figure, one paw resting gently on a sphere. 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. 8.5"w x 22"d x 11"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.
