Pair of Wooden Carved Sitting Lion Table Lamps, circa 1880 with Empire Shades

About the Item

A pair of large Belgian carved wood lions from the 1880s made into table lamps with their shade. This late 19th century pair of table lamps each features a lion sitting proudly on a stepped base, propped on its front legs, the top of his head flattened, below an Empire beige shade supported by an angled metal stick following the curve of the animal’s back. Since ancient times, the lion has served as a symbol of majestic power, with its imposing stature and royal beauty. The fine detailing of the wavy curls in his mane along with the masterly treatment of his anatomy command admiration and would make this pair of Belgian carved lamps, circa 1880 a stately accent to any home, perhaps flanking a sofa in a traditional living room. This pair of table lamps has been wired for the US and is ready to be installed.
