Rare Pair of Bas-Relief in Turkish Marble, 18th Century

About the Item

These pair of bas-relief in Turkish marble is an original pair of decorative object realized in Italy in the 18th century. Original Turkish marble. Both the pieces are in excellent conditions. Beautiful pair of sculptures depicting winged griffins facing. The sculptures are made in bas-relief on Turkish pieces of marble: they are cold white with grayish veins. The two pieces were probably bases placed under two columns; the figures of griffins and winged lions, in fact, were often placed as a base for the columns since the early medieval period. In the Romanesque period, in Europe, the figure of the stylophorus lions were placed in the arcades of the churches and in front of the gates. The faces of the griffins are very well sculpted, just as the wings are well defined; in some places it almost seems like a high relief. This object is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any object in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist, designer or craftsman who has died requires a license for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the license according to the final destination of the object.
