About the Item
Pair of Female Sphinx Statues in Carved Stone – 19th Century
Dimensions: 110 × 36 × 84 cm (each)
Elegant pair of carved stone statues depicting female sphinxes, combining grace and strength in a classical reclining pose. Sculpted with refined detail, the figures feature lion bodies adorned with flowing drapery and serene, stylized female faces, inspired by the romantic aesthetic of the late 19th century.
Originally intended to flank the entrance of a garden or estate, they now make a striking statement in any outdoor or architectural setting. Natural wear, surface erosion, and small losses are consistent with age and add to the statues’ authentic charm.
Estimated period: circa 1880
Material: Hand-carved limestone
