"Two 1870s Roman Style Hand-carved Alabaster Italian Sculptures Of Lions"
These are two hand-carved alabaster sculptures of lions from the 1870s, designed in a Roman style. Each sculpture features a lion standing on a rectangular base, with one paw resting on a spherical object, which is a common motif in classical art symbolizing strength and control. The craftsmanship showcases detailed mane and muscular features, reflecting the skill of Italian artisans from that period. The sculptures exhibit a weathered patina, adding to their antique charm. They likely served as decorative pieces, possibly for a mantle or display shelf. They are in original condition and patina, they have some losses as you can see on the photos.
