About the Item

This antique pair of tufa limestone garden lions dates to the early 19th century and came from southern France or possibly, Italy. The lions are quite regal in appearance and hold heraldic shields with their paws. Their condition is good for their age, with considerable erosion but only minor losses. The white tufa has aged grey and is now pitted with small holes and cavities. The mottled appearance is enhanced by the presence of dormant moss. Some cement remains attached to the bases.
