Pair of Carrara Marble Canova Lions
A striking pair of Carrara marble lions inspired by the iconic sculptures created by the great Italian neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822). The original lions were carved for the magnificent tomb of Pope Clement XIII in St. Peter's Basilica, Rome, where they remain among Canova's most celebrated works.
These museum-quality reproductions have been handcrafted using a premium dry-cast process containing 90% Carrara marble, capturing the beautiful detail and timeless elegance of the originals. One lion lies awake, symbolising vigilance and strength, while the other rests peacefully, representing moderation and quiet wisdom. Together they create a wonderfully balanced pair steeped in history and symbolism.
Beautifully weighty and tactile, they make exceptional decorative pieces for a mantelpiece, console, library, or study. They also work wonderfully as sculptural bookends or distinctive doorstops, bringing a touch of European grandeur to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
A timeless design that has captivated collectors for over two centuries, these are pieces that feel equally at home in a country house, townhouse, or modern interior.
