About the Item

18th–19th Century Spanish Carved Stone Lion’s Head Wall Element A powerful and expressive sculptural fragment depicting a lion’s head, originally part of a grand architectural ensemble, likely adorning the façade or fountain of a Spanish palace or hacienda. Dating from the 18th to 19th century, the hand-carved stonework captures the lion's commanding presence with deeply incised features, flowing mane, and symmetrical composition. The surface bears a beautifully weathered patina, the result of centuries of age and exposure, adding warmth and texture to the stone’s natural hue. Now mounted on a custom steel base, the piece stands as both a fragment of architectural heritage and a striking decorative sculpture. An evocative remnant of Iberian architectural tradition, perfect for collectors of classical fragments or those seeking a bold decorative accent with historical presence. Provenance: From an old family collection, originally part of a historic hacienda in southern Spain.
