Description
Pair of Venetian lion cubs, Venice, probably 19th century Carved Istrian marble. Dimensions: 27 x 14 x 14 x 14 cm each. A pair of Venetian lions, entirely hand-carved and sculpted, conceived as decorative elements of remarkable quality and refinement. Traditionally, these pieces were placed on sills or architectural features, a function that explains both their size and their striking ornamental presence. Executed in Istrian marble, a material closely linked to Venetian architecture, they stand out for the beautiful patina of the surface, the precision of the details, and the carefully rendered anatomical details of the animals, which are captured with balance and vitality. This is an original pair of particularly attractive decorative pieces, of medium size and harmonious proportions, suitable as an interior design complement or as a sculptural accent in architectural settings. Provenance: Venice, private collection. They are presented in very good condition, intact. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-community shipment: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required.
