Pair of Antique Marble & Alabaster Medici Lions

19th century
Description

This is a grand pair of hand carved antique table lions realistically sculpted from solid alabaster. The lions are good sized table or side cabinet pieces crafted after the antique Medici lions now housed in Florence.

The pieces have both had some historic repairs to the legs and tails which have been sympathetically done and are quite solid and robust now. These have loads of character and are realistically modelled with a great stance mounted on grey figured marble bases. They are antique pieces dating from the mid Victorian era circa 1860.

These measure 24 cms high by 22 cms wide by 9 cms deep overall inclusive of the bases.

The UK delivery is £20 or you are welcome to call and collect.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
