Description

A Good Pair of c.1900 Terracotta Lions by Adam Mason & Sons of Horwich, LancashireOrigin: English Period: Late Victorian Provenance: Unknown Date: c. 1900 Width: 12. 75 Height: 22 Depth: 14. 5 (all at extremities) The very attractive pair of terracotta arch topped flat backed half length seated lions, for positioning either side of an entrance way, each with beautifully textured surfaces, good flowing manes and sharply cast paws, having impress stamped to the fronts with the makers name of A. Mason Winter Hill Fire Bricks Works,

and both with a scatter cushion in jeweled velvet

with one or two small areas of scuffing and surface scratches

signifying truth

and of course perfect for those who still appreciate the hand-written word

seated alert

There is some over-painting to the frame and a handful of small losses

tibialis anticus and soleus

There are a handful of old repairs to the wings and feet of the sphinx’s as photographed with some chipped losses to the plinth bases

with the acronym INRI above

and although rusty

The subject for this box makes it particularly interesting and its naïve decoration is a beautifully pure illustration of folk art
