A striking matched pair of antique English Staffordshire recumbent lions, dating to the late 19th century.
Each lion is modeled resting upon a naturalistic rocky base and finished in a warm burnt-orange glaze with cream facial details, hand-painted features, remnants of gilt decoration, and inset glass eyes. Their expressive faces and subtle differences in hand finishing give the pair wonderful character.
The undersides retain firing openings along with simple hand-painted workshop marks—an “X” to one and three short marks to the other.
Condition:
Antique condition with age-related wear consistent with use and age, including scattered glaze wear, small flakes, firing imperfections, and losses to painted/gilt decoration. One lion has a mismatched eye that appears either replaced or altered/lacking its original amber coloration, now appearing clear/gray. Additional minor surface imperfections and base wear visible. No hairline cracks observed. Please review all photos for yourself as they show condition.
Circa 1880–1900.
Dimensions:
Approximately 11” long × 10” high × 5.5” deep each.
Sold as a pair.
