About the Item
Hand-carved in the 1500s, these Italian lion supports are the work of a master-level craftsman. It is possible that they were originally legs for a High Renaissance cassone. A fresh coat of French wax has accentuated the dark brown finish, allowing the nuances of the carvings to gain prominence. The smiling lions are very expressive, with a wry grin, exposing their sharp teeth, and attentive eyes. A pair of front paws emerge from the long flowing mane that covers the lion. Both lions have retained their rectangular attachment block, but most owners will prefer to use our carved Renaissance lions as sculptural art.
