French Antique Bronze Sculpture of Lioness & Cubs by Charles Valton, circa 1910
By Charles Valton
Located in Shippensburg, PA
CHARLES VALTON
French, 1851-1913
Lioness and Two Cubs
Reddish-brown patinated bronze Signed "C. VALTON" to base over foundry cachet
Item # 301HOC20P
A good early cast circa 1910 of Charles Valton's Lioness and Two Cubs, it is a beautifully detailed sand-casting with a rich red-oxide and medium-brown surface patination that highlights the texture of the surface. The two cubs sit at total peace beneath their powerful mother, her head lowered in a low growl as she likely threatens a fellow lion away from the meal of rabbit she has brought for her cubs.

Pair 18th Century French Creamware Lions Hand Painted Circa 1790
Located in Katonah, NY
This rare and charming pair of 18th-century French creamware lions was made circa 1790.
Each lion reclines atop a tall rectangular base decorated with rich cobalt-blue swags, bright yellow tassels, and vivid green trim.
The forms are bold and expressive. The lions' open mouths are painted in soft pink, and their manes are rendered in vibrant yellow and lined with dark brown, lending them an animated, almost theatrical presence.
The lions rest on what appear to be stylized, draped cushions, adding a sense of comfort and reality.
Their wide-eyed expressions and exaggerated features give the pair a whimsical character that blends elegance with humor—a hallmark of late 18th-century French design.
Unmarked but unmistakably French in style, these figures make a striking decorative statement. Whether placed on a mantel or console, they command attention and offer a playful counterpoint to more serious classical forms.
Dimensions: 6.5 inches tall x 6.75 inches long x 4.5 inches wide
Condition: Excellent
Price: $2,300
Decoration: Painted in yellow, cobalt, green, pink, and brown with molded drapery and tassel detail
Material: Creamware pottery
Style: French Neoclassical with Folk Art elements
Origin: France
Date: Circa 1790
Key Features
- Rare pair of large 18th-century creamware lion figures
- Expressive hand-painted decoration with bold color contrasts
- Tall bases decorated with molded and painted swags and tassels
- French origin, circa 1790
- Whimsical and animated expressions add charm and visual interest
Background of creamware
Creamware is the name given to a type of earthenware pottery initially made from white clays from Dorset and Devonshire combined with an amount of calcined flint.
Creamware was first produced in England sometime before 1740. Foremost among the pioneers of creamware in the Staffordshire Potteries was Thomas Whieldon. The young Josiah Wedgwood partnered with Thomas Whieldon from 1754 to 1759. When Wedgwood left to set up his own business, he immediately directed his efforts to developing creamware.
Around the same time, in the mid-18th century, French potters developed their creamware known in France as "Faience Fine...
