Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Under Napoleon III, a number of buildings were restored by the Empress's "protégé", and it was in this capacity that followers in the quest for the medieval worked on
projects to restore ornamental pieces lost to neglect and the disasters of war. This astonishing pair of lions and lioness in workshop clay
is a mid-19th-century gargoyle project by Geoffroy (signed on the plate). These two pieces are on natural oak bases resting on four feet, and are very singular, menacing and roaring like wild beasts on the prowl, watching their prey ... A curiosity in good condition. Ideal for spitting water from a gargoyle in a castle or cathedral.
