Pair Large French Griffin Architectural Giltwood Statues
About the Item
Pair of majestic French 19th century carved 23k giltwood mythological Griffin sculptures. Expertly carved. These impressive one of kind griffin sculptures (or statues) were architectural elements converted to decorative display art.
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.
