Decoration - Bronze Sculptures
Reference: V4077
Bronze table base with four lions. Based on models derived from Roman trapezophoros (Pompeii, etc.). The four lion heads are placed back to back, resting on a powerful feline paw, the transition between them decorated with scrolls and plant elements. The artist based this work on finds from Ancient Rome, known from having seen them in museums (Metropolitan Museum, 13.115.1) or from references in books specialising in classical art (such as A Handbook of Ornament by Franz Sales Meyer).
