A 'Grand Tour' early 19th century Regency period bronze lion on a marble base.
The Medici lion is superbly cast and is of high quality.
The lion stands on a marble plinth base which is actually a 'Maurin Green' marble or 'Alps Green'.
The Medici lions are a pair of marble sculptures of lions, one of which is Roman, dating back to the 2nd century AD, and the other a 16th-century pendant. Both were by 1598 placed at the Villa Medici, Rome. Since 1789 they have been displayed at the Loggia dei Lanzi, Piazza della Signora, in Florence.
