An imposing pair of lion sculptures , crafted from hand-carved wood and finished with gold and silver leaf , combining master craftsmanship, dramatic presence, and a powerful decorative impact . These elements evoke the symbolic figure of the lion—a symbol of strength, protection, and royalty—and translate these values into a highly elegant material language.
The carved woodwork is precise and intricate, with anatomical details and ornamental motifs that highlight the quality of the craftsmanship. The gold leaf finish enhances the main surfaces, lending brightness and warmth, while the silver leaf introduces surprising, cool reflections that visually enrich the surfaces' tonal range. The alternation of gold and silver creates a dynamic contrast, ideal for spaces where material detail takes center stage.
This pair is ideal for enhancing entrances, reception halls, living rooms, or professional offices where furnishings and artwork contribute to the space's stylistic identity. They can also be used in commercial or hospitality settings that focus on striking, iconic elements.
The sculptures are in excellent general condition , with well-preserved carving , stable metal leaf and wood free from structural damage, ready to be enhanced in their own environment.
