A pair of English composition reclining lion sculptures, twentieth century. Each lion is depicted in a relaxed reclining pose on a rectangular base, the head raised in an alert posture — the classical presentation for guardian lion figures used to flank pathways, gates, and garden entrances. The mane is rendered in considerable detail, while the composition material has weathered beautifully through outdoor exposure: green moss and natural erosion have accumulated across the surface, lending the lions the character of pieces with a long history in an English garden. A commanding pair suited to a formal garden entrance or flanking a terrace stair. Offered as a pair.
