Pair French Griffin Lion Architectural Giltwood Boiserie Panels
About the Item
Spectacular pair of Griffin (lion) motif French architectural 23k giltwood Boiserie relief mirrored panels. Each panel is expertly detailed with carved griffins flanking a floral urn with mirror backing and green painted outer frame. The 19th century panels most likely originated from an important palace like interior appearing over an entrance.
The griffin is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an eagle's talons as its front feet. Because the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts, and the eagle the king of the birds, by the Middle Ages, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. Since classical antiquity, griffins were known for guarding treasures and priceless possessions.
