About the Item

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. Despite their age, these statues are in good condition, showcasing the patina and wear that comes with the passage of time. Discoloration from age contributes to their vintage charm, and some repaired cracks in the base indicate a careful restoration process. The statues bear the marks of time with grace, creating a beautifully weathered appearance. Positioned at the entrance, these Marble Sphinx statues make a bold statement, infusing your home with a sense of history and architectural elegance. Please note, this item is located in our Scranton, PA location.
